Board of Directors Meeting (tentative) 09/24/2012 The Board meeting is open to members that would like to learn more about the Board or present material for Board consideration. Texas Hold'em 09/24/2012- 09/26/2012	Texas Hold 'em What is Texas Hold'em you ask ... and, how exactly does working a shift help the Chapter? Don't worry, you don't have to know how to play poker to help out. Tripper's Poker Room is managed by Aces Gaming Supply and is run as a charitable gaming venture. This means they need various nonprofits to supply manpower to count chips and cash. It's that simple. According to Management Vice President Dan Harris, Texas Hold'em continues to be a relatively easy, profitable fundraiser for the Lansing Jaycees. In fact, on average last year, we received more than $27 per person/per shift -- after expenses. In 2011, the Chapter saw a profit of more than $8,300 throughout the three events we helped staff. This year we have been offered and have booked four events -- the first one taking place next Monday, July 23 through Wednesday, July 25. We still need two shifts covered (11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 24 and Wednesday, July 25), so please sign up if you can. Can't work these dates, but would like to help at one of our future events, we'd love that! Feel free to contact President Lauren Leeds or Dan Harris if you can volunteer. Remember, every dollar raised by the Chapter helps fund the fantastic programming we do for our members and our community. Thanks! Poetry in the City The Lansing Jaycees are proud to once again be one of the sponsors of Poetry in City -- organized by noneother than our very own Rina Risper! Other sponsors include The New Citizen Press and Nu Poet Collective. The 7th Annual Poetry in the City is this Thursday, July 19 and takes place on the steps of the Capitol building in downtown Lansing. We will also be volunteering at this event, so if you are interested in helping, please contact Angela Fossi. If you plan to volunteer, please arrive by at least 6:45 p.m. Beginning at 7 p.m. and wrapping up at 9 p.m., the event is free to the public and all poets are welcome including Hip-Hop, traditional, slam and performace. This year's featured poet is Rosemarie Wilson (AKA One Single Rose). Additionally, Shaton Andrews and Kelly Kilpatrick-Phelps will perform. Attendees are advised to bring a lawn chair or a blanket. Hope to see you there! Pretty Jewelry = Fighting Cancer United States Junior Chamber National Vice President Dawn Hetzel is looking for support, as she prepares and fundraises for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Team in Training" event. Between now and Thursday, July 19 you can order jewelry from Silpada to help fight cancer. You're invited to help Dawn fight cancer with a Silpada Designs Catalog Party!
