It’s that time of year. Ready? Set. FORE!

In a tradition dating back many years, a bunch of crazy Jaycees will again grab a golf club and a tennis ball and head out to Menominee Park for a day on the lake!

A (hopefully) frozen Millers Bay will be the setting for another round of Ice Golf on Sunday, February 17. We’ll start the morning with a warm-up at St. Thomas Bar at 8:30 AM (693 N. Main St.). We’ll head to the park by 9:30 AM, play nine “holes”, and then go to The Varsity Club (570 N. Main St.) somewhere for lunch.

Bring a golf club and a tennis ball marked as yours, and prepare to have a great time! Beverages won’t be provided at the game, but you are welcome bring your own (warm or cold) to fill up the bar-ski. Invite your friends!

Meet at St. Tommy’s on Main Street. See you there!

6th Annual Indoor Olympics Announced

olyringsTeams are forming now to Rock ‘n’ Roll in Manitowoc on April 27th!

Registration is open for JCI Wisconsin’s Annual Indoor Olympics!

This year JCI Wisconsin is teaming up with JCI Manitowoc Jaycees to hold the 6th annual event in downtown Manitowoc on Saturday, April 27th.

Indoor Olympics starts with an Opening Ceremony, followed by a day full of competing in conventional and non-traditional bar games, and a Closing Ceremony with a meal and awards.

Past games have included: darts, pool, tippy cup, beer pong, left right center, Pictionary, bean bag toss and connect four, to name a few.

The theme this year is Rock ‘n’ Roll Olympics. Teams are encouraged to dress as their favorite singer, band, rock star, or song.

In order for Jaycee teams to be guaranteed a spot, register by February 2nd as after that date, registration is then open to the public.

**Must be 21 to compete, but you do not have to drink alcohol to compete.**

See the registration flier for more information.

Not yet included on the promotional flyer, yet the host hotel is EconoLodge, located at 908 Washington St. in downtown Manitowoc. This convenient location makes it easy for participants to walk to all partner establishments in an effort to not drink and drive. We will be updating this information and releasing the details no later than convention weekend.

For any questions you may have, please contact JCI Wisconsin’s Secretary/Treasurer Erica Jansky at jciwisecretarytreasurer@gmail.com.

December 2012 Members of the Month

goldstar

Congratulations to Maggie Doyle and Chad Miller! They were named the December Members of the Month for organizing the PALS Santa Visit at Washington Elementary. The kids cheered as Santa walked in and of course loved the cookies. Tons of kids gave Santa hugs and there was no pulling of his beard this year! They made sure the school was still open despite the blizzard and had enough cookies and volunteers. There was even some cookies leftover for the faculty to enjoy.

Year End Banquet

Thanks to those who made it out to the year end banquet to celebrate 2012. We handed out awards to members, congratulations to the following:

C. William Brownsfield Memorial Award – Courtney Ader

The C. William Brownfield Memorial Award is presented to a first year Jaycee in recognition of their significant achievements during their first 12 months of membership. The award is named in honor of the author of the Jaycee Creed. The Jaycee Creed is recited by Jaycees throughout the world at virtually every Junior Chamber function/event. Bill Brownfield penned the creed after attending his first ever National Junior Chamber Convention. As a new member from Ohio, he recognized that the spirit and enthusiasm of the Junior Chamber movement began with the exciting energy of first-year Jaycees.

John H. Armbruster “Keyman” Memorial Award – Jen Dunham and Jaime Kordosky

The John H. Armbruster “Keyman” Memorial Award is presented to an outstanding Jaycee who has continued to show support, dedication, and enthusiasm for the Junior Chamber following their first year of membership. The award is named in honor and recognition of John H. Armbruster’s faithful service to the United States Junior Chamber. John was a charter member of the St. Louis Junior Chamber of Commerce and throughout his life continued to contribute to the Jaycee movement.
