All,

If you wanted some fun this weekend you had your chances: FAW, YearEnd Banquet, or Volleyball. Congrats to our new Governors. First non board member who tells me the scores, wins a prize.

Sorry I wasn’t around but I was down in Tulsa, OK. It was a Leadership Academy for Local Chapter Presidents from across the nation. Good time and a standout would be training from Matt Booth (Mattbooth.com). If you ever have a chance for training or hanging out with Matt, do it, you will thank me later. He is a local JC from Dubuque.

Here is

Jan 18 – Board MTG 6:30

Jan 21 – Membership MTG – want to giggle at Scott, here is your chance.

Our meeting point in Ames to carpool to Des Moines will be the NE Corner of the Lowes parking lot (the same corner as the gas station).

Also, its State Fair time! If you love tasty fair food, people watching,
and great grandstand concerts, but don’t have anyone to go with, give a
shout out to your fellow Jaycees! There are many of us who will be going
on various days, and the more people that go the merrier! Grab some
fellow members and head to the fair!

Have a spectacular week, enjoy our slightly more normal summer weather,
and see you soon!

Andy’s Weird QOW (ala Melissa): Why are the rooftops of new UPS trucks white?

Last week’s QOW Answer: St. Patty’s Day can NEVER fall on Good Friday, because Easter can’t be earlier than the Tuesday before Easter!

Good evening Jaycees! Here’s your weekly update:
 
1. Trashbag Committee Meeting – Wednesday March 11th, 7pm - Dan and Joey Benson’s House – We will be scoping out and planning the trashbag project.
 
2. St. Patty’s Pub Crawl – Saturday March 14th – 6pm – Olde Main (on the Pub Side) – Wear something green, we will be visiting London Underground, Sportsman Lounge, and finish at DG’s Tap House/Cornerpocket on our treck across mainstreet.

Thanks,

Andy Sturtz
2009 President
