Just B a Jaycee


Lansing Jaycees are go-getters and are often on the run. We want to provide an opportunity for Jaycees to explore the mental and physical benefits yoga can provide.

Just B Yoga is a fantastic local donation-based yoga studio that encourages individuals from all backgrounds to find what they need and to leave what they don’t on their mat.

Those planning on attending do not need to bring anything -- boxed water can be purchased at the studio if you forget to bring some, and there are towels and mats and straps, etc. available for use at the studio.

 

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day

Everyone has a different favorite holiday. St. Patrick's Day happens to be Membership Vice President Danielle Wellington's favorite, which is why this year the Lansing Jaycees will celebrate the day with a pub crawl on Saturday, March 17.

Pub crawl goers are sure to be decked out in green (think shirts, wigs, hats and socks) and drink a green beer or two. There will be raffle prizes at each stop! Invite anyone you'd like to join and please dress green and as creatively Irish as you can!
