TWISJ! Vol. 2; 2016 (Jan 13)

This Week In Saginaw Jaycees! Vol. 2; 2016

January 13, 0016

My Fellow Jaycees,

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirit! Have you been paying attention to our facebook page lately? I have posted SO. MUCH. STUFF. ON. FACBOOK. I’ve been running across lots of great things happening in Saginaw, and sharing them there. Go look at it!

Anyways, on to business!

Be There!!!- January General Membership Meeting (GMM)
               Who: You, and anyone else interested in the Saginaw Jaycees
               What: Monthly business meeting
               When: Tuesday, January 26 @7pm (We will start promptly at 7, so arrive a few minutes early if you want to order food or drink!)
               Where: Ace’s Lounge, inside Stardust Lanes. 3750 Bay Rd, Saginaw, MI 48603
               Why: The GMM is the best place to exercise your voice in the direction of the chapter. This year, the meetings will be structured slightly differently. The business portion will be kept as short as possible, there will be time for committees to check in and do some planning, and guest speakers on a regular basis. If you have an idea, suggestion, desire, or passion, this is the place to develop it! Also, how else will you become friends with anyone else in the group if you don’t come?
               Notes: Please note the new location.

What’s Next?- MIJC D5 Social – Saginaw Spirit v. Flint Firebird Hockey Game
               Who: D5 Jaycees (Saginaw, Clare, Mt. Pleasant, Midland, Auburn, Burton, Frankenmuth) and our friends and family
               What: Hockey game between the Saginaw Spirit and the Flint Firebirds
               When: Wednesday, February 3 @ 7:05pm
               Where: Dow Events Center, 303 Johnson St, Saginaw, MI 48607
               Why: Why not? It’s fun.
               Notes: Our group rate is $10.50 for upper level seats. Please RSVP by January 22 to DD Sarah Ellis (sellis@mijaycees.org or (810) 875-4592) to guarantee group rate tickets, and come out to relax with fellow Jaycees and cheer on our D5 OHL teams
               More Notes: I’ll share the fb event page on the members page, but all the info you need is here!

What’s Next? Part II- 2015 Year End Leadership Conference
               Who: Michigan Jaycees
               What: This conference, like all of them, include great trainings and fellowship opportunities. The focus of this particular conference is wrapping up 2015. It is mind blowing to see what all the other Michigan chapters are doing! 2014 Year End (a year ago this February) was my first conference. It is completely overwhelming to see how much of an impact Jaycees have on the state of Michigan. There is absolutely NO WAY you will not be excited if you attend conference.
               When: Friday-Sunday, February 19-21, 2016
               Where: Doubletree by Hilton, 4747 28th St SE., Grand Rapids, MI 48512
