Upcoming Events

Tuesday March 13 7-9 p.m.	M-NIGHT LOCATION: SCOTTY'S BREWHOUSE, 3905 E. 96TH ST. What is an M-Night? It's a chance for members and prospective members gather in a social atmosphere to build relationships and share in the Jaycee spirit. In 1996 Scotty opened the Brewhouse at Ball State. Since then, 3 more have popped up in popular cities across Indiana. Many graduates of current “Scotty’s cities” (Bloomington/IU, Muncie/BSU and West Lafayette/PU) move after college. Some go out West, some to Chicago, some down South; but, a large majority of graduating seniors head to Indianapolis. Join us for M-Night at the newest location! www.scottysbrewhouse.com. CONTACT: Sabrina Buckley at membershipvp@indyjaycees.org.

A note from the Board

Greetings from Individual Development!

As the Jaycees board has visioned and planned for 2007, we are being very intentional about bringing you high quality, leadership development opportunities. At the national and international level, the Jaycees are emphasizing leadership development as the hallmark benefit for members. All this being said, I want to share with you Individual Development’s goals for this year and let you know how you can be involved.

The goals for the coming year include:

1. Offer at least three community-wide leadership development trainings.
2. Conduct a Jaycees Leadership Academy in July.
3. Continue with quality social outings.
4. Collaborate with a least one other organization for each event/training.
5. Promote and provide incentives for Indianapolis Jaycees members to attend state/national/ international trainings and conferences.

While the board is finalizing the calendar of events…I want to make sure you have the first training saved on your calendar!

Business Etiquette- here and abroad

Scott Greenlee, Jr. Chamber International President, (www.jci.cc) and Darby Casady, International Center of Indianapolis, (www.icenterindy.org) will be presenting. This interactive training will include an introduction and experience with the Culture Wheel and what we deem culturally appropriate as Hoosiers- socially and in business.

Announcements

Indianapolis Jaycees Relay for Life Team - June 2007
Location: Indianapolis or Lawrence

The Indianapolis Jaycees want to form a Relay for Life Team. Each year thousands of teams form to raise money for cancer research. In 1985 Dr. Gordy Klatt, a cancer surgeon, spent 24 hours walking or running to raise money for his local American Cancer Society. Dr. Klatt asked friends, family, and patients to walk or run with him. He raised $27,000. Now years later, this event is nationwide. Relay for Life typically involves more than 3 million participants and raises more than $250 million for research. A team is formed of 8 to 15 people. Each team is asked to raise a minimum of $100. If you want to help advance cancer research, please help the Jaycees form a team. Contact Traci Powell at 791-1351 or marketingvp@indyjaycees.org.
