General Awesomeness!- MIJC 2015 Year End Conference
               This past weekend four Saginaw Jaycees attended the MIJC 2015 Year End Conference. This is the last official part of the 2015 year (confusing, I know.) The weekend consisted of lots of awards and recognitions, trainings, and socializing. We had a fantastic time! Katie participated in first-timers, a competition for those who are new to MIJC conferences, and was welcomed with open arms by the organization. The rest of us “old hats” got to catch up with friends from around the state and country.
               If you’d like to see some pictures from the event, please check out the MIJC Post It Here facebook page. There were professional photographers there the whole weekend, and all their photos are on that page. Enjoy!
