Happy New Year All,
We're back to the "old" way of distributing news. Please check out ALL the information on:
Woodward Dream Cruise update
Last night was our Post-Holiday Party in Wyandotte. We had over 80 people in attendance with visitors from both Arizonia, Ohio and Indiana. The food was fabulous (thanks to the caterers at Dom Polaski's). The auction went very well. The after-hour activities seemed to keep going and going. And most importantly, everyone seemed happy and healthy. Thank you again to Dennis and Ellen Kester for hosting such a wonderful event.
Yours in Jaycee Spirit,
Sue Foltin
2004-2005 MI JCI Secretary.
************ Yahoo!group for documents only - using "old" email distribution
The Yahoo!group setup proved to be more difficult to manage than the method used prior. We will continue to maintain the site as a source for documents, whether they be registration forms, event flyers, organizational minutes, event photos, etc. The site is still accessible at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mijci/. A generic account has been setup for members to use to gain access to these documents who do not already have a yahoo account. Login as "misenator" and use the password "member". We will continue to distribute the ENEWS from lists created on my home computer. Please send email address updates to me at skf64@comcast.net.
************ Filibuster goes bimonthly
In an effort to reduce costs, the MI JCI Senate has decided to mail their newsletter, the FILIBUSTER, bimonthly. For example, you should soon be receiving the February / March edition in the mail. We will continue to provide these ENEWS emails every 7-10 days to keep the lines of communication flowing amongst the members.
