Stargazing Reboot!

Were you looking forward to the "Celestial Sightings" training that was scheduled for last month? While we were disappointed that the event was canceled due to weather, fear not, the stargazing event with Kalamazoo Jaycee Shawn Brueshaber has been rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 19.

The event will feature a telescope observatory session in conjunction with a computer simulation of the universe and an unaided eye orientation of the heavens. During the few hours to follow, a series of objects will be observed and a brief discussion on each will be given.

Shawn will also be answering the questions submitted by members at the October GMM.

Make sure to dress warmly, as the event will be taking place outside in October. Hope to see you there!

Learn how to Judge Debate

Want to learn how to judge debate so you can help with future Jaycee debate-related events? Individual Development Vice President Joe Kelly has arranged for those interested to attend a debate tournament in Muskegon later this month.

Lansing Jaycees are invited to the Muskegon high school, Mona Shores, debate tournament on Oct. 27, where we will learn how a high school debate tournament functions and how to judge debate rounds.

If interested in attending, please inform the Mona Shores debate coach, Mandi Garvey (mandi.garvey@gmail.com ), so the school can get an accurate count for food. Food will be available for sale at the high school.

Contact Joe Kelly with any questions about the event or carpooling.
