Hello Jaycee friends! Spring has sprung! It’s hard to believe that the first quarter of the year is over already. The year is moving along faster than I ever imagined and it will continue to whiz right on by. This past month we did our first Adopt-A-Highway clean up collecting 20 some bags of garbage. Jeff McCloskey chaired his first project, which was the HART Bowling Social. Thank you to everyone who sold pizza kits and cookie dough from Joe Corbi’s, we went over the budget on what we sold, good job Jen Lupp. Also this past month we had about 12 of us go to the National Convention in Myrtle Beach, what an exciting time that was. We had some awesome training, parties, and just good times to share with some friends that we made. Deb and myself competed in speak up competitions. During the awards ceremonies, Hanover received it’s Bronze Chip Award. The chapter also was recognized as one of the top 100 chapters in the Nation and along with that Deb was awarded for being one of the top local chapter presidents– way to go Deb! We are passing the ball right along on into April. Coming up we have some great projects. First we have the Membership Meeting on April 6th. Then the Chicken BBQ on April 8th, see Matt’s article for more details. Right after that we have the Easter Egg Hunt, I heard the committee has lots of new activities to do there. That same week we are having a New Member Orientation, so any new members please come on out. The week of April 16-22 is National Growth Week, we are having a M-night on the 18th and another social later that week to help recruit new members. The Board Meeting will be held at Bob & Barb’s Main Street Tavern. Don’t forget your baseball glove this month we have the Pitch, Hit, and Run. Last of all we have a family oriented JAM Social being planned for the end of the month. As you can see we have a busy month in April, plus the VP’s are busy planning for the future projects coming up such as the Crab Feed, the Miss Hanover Pageant, and the Halloween Parade. If you have not noticed this year is our 65th Anniversary. Some of us have decided we want to have a 65th Anniversary Open House/ Past President Reunion. I am planning on having a committee meeting for brainstorming on Monday April 10th at 7:00 at the Chapter House. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please plan to attend; and let me know if you are coming. Check out the chapter’s new website, if you haven’t yet. Andy Bolin has been working hard at updating and making the website more user friendly. Also Andy has established an e-mail address for the chapter, so you can visit us at http://groups.msn.com/HanoverAreaJaycees or e-mail us at HanoverAreaJaycees.gmail.com and I will get your e-mail. If you are interested in receiving this newsletter in the future via e-mail, please let me know by e-mailing me at [email protected]. The Chapter House now has recycling bins that we will need to use in the future for glass, plastic, paper, and cans.

Now let’s go out there team and Make it Happen! APRIL MEMBERSHIP MEETING Thursday, April 6, 2006 Social begins at 7:00 pm Meeting begins at 7:30 pm http://groups.msn.com/HanoverAreaJaycees

Great job Jen Lupp, chairing the Joe Corbi’s Food Sale! Her first project as chairperson was a success, and I’m sure everyone who bought some Joe Corbi’s is enjoying it? Again, great job Jen! Thanks to Nick Cracium, chairperson for the Shrimp Feed. How many projects was that for him? A successful project as well, everyone enjoyed the shrimp and the chicken, and the beer and the music.
