HELLO JAYCEES!

There is a convention coming up in less then a month...Oct 3-4-5 in Albany....it is the ELECTION CONVENTION. This is the place where YOU as members of the NYS Jaycee Organziation get to decide who is in each position at the state level.

Are you interested in being in one of those state positions? Are you interested in going to the convention? Let me know and I will get you all the forms needed to sign up! It really isn't that hard....

Why not go to convention? If you haven't been to a convention in a few years...they have changed....if that is what you are worried about....if you have any questions...contact me...

Conventions are a great way to get to know other Jaycees from the rest of the state.

jaycee camp this weekend
met net end of july - august
convention in october

Hello

Hello....
is anyone out there....i mean seriously.....anyone....is anyone reading this blog?

it was set up for Region West Chapters in the NYS Jaycee Organization....but
those chapters just really don't seem to care one way or another what the state is doing...and what it means to be a part of a larger organization.

Do great things in your community...yes...they all do....but would it kill you to just tell me what the hell you are doing so maybe others in the state can come help ya...

my vent

my vent....

so its monday and i have had some time to think about what went on saturday....
what was saturday you ask...well it was a State Executive Committee Meeting in Geneva.
I got up early, drove a total of 160+ miles, tolls and around $30 of gas only to have two other people from the state show up as well. everyone else decided to not show up that morning.

I am not a vp, i don't get $ back for traveling. my region doesn't give money for me to go driving all over the state either. I pay for it and with gas as high as it is, it bothers me that I took the time out of a very busy day to go to this meeting.

So, next time we have a meeting in which we have to travel....if you are not going to go, call me in advance and tell me, becuase I can't keep driving to meetings that really are not going to take place. Its just getting too expensive to waste gas and my time....

but it was a beautiful day, nice location, great conversation with those that did show up, and we even got to see a wedding take place!!!

Great Buffalo GMM

Hello to anyone who actually reads these...since no one has left me any comments...i have reason to believe no one reads my blog!

Well, last night I attended Buffalo's GMM in which Mayor Byron Brown was the guest speaker. The place had over 35 members and from what I hear, some new potential members! Buffalo is doing great from what I can see.

Past Buffalo President David Ellerbrock asked the Mayor what he believes would be in "Brown's Book of Leadership" and the Mayor responded with the following:

• "Leaders are hard working"
• "the Speed of the Boss is the speed of the gang"
• "Set good positive examles"
• "roll up your sleeves"
• "confidence with who you are working along side with"
• "vision of hope and better future"

Sounds like a lot of Jaycees.....LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY!!!
