Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Annual Meeting organizers (the G20 Summit overrunning the original site–we totally had the location scoped first!), the 2009 United States Junior Chamber Annual Meeting has been relocated to Orlando, Florida.

Arkansas Jaycees Race Day will be on April 4 in Hot Springs, AR. Race Day is a chance for Jaycees from around the state to gather together and have fun. There’s no work or trainings to attend on this day.
Race Day is also an excellent opportunity to introduce new people to the Jaycees and to let them meet not only local members, but members from around the state.
Tickets to the horse races will be $6.50. Unlike previous years, this does not include a box lunch (and is also not $20). There are several restaurants in the immediate area of Oaklawn Park that we can lunch at if desired. The state organization is not pre-booking hotel rooms this year. If you desire to stay overnight, booking the hotel room will be your responsibility.
The Magnolia Jaycees hosted the Arkansas Jaycees Year-End Celebration this past weekend in Magnolia, Arkansas. At that meeting, we had some wonderful training from 2009 National Vice President Joanie Cramer and the 2009 Executive Committee was installed.
First Half, Second Half, and Year-End Awards were also presented at this meeting. Click through for a list of the winners.
