We're currently sat in the first National Council meeting of the year 2009-10, which means it is Jess' first meeting as NJR. Very exciting....ish!
National Council is a meeting that happens four times every year where a few seniors from each branch along with the big dogs (Chair, Secretary, NJRs -yeah)
This meeting is where all the big important decisions are made like what places each branch gets for Villages, Summer Camps and all the other programmes. There are lots of other bits that go on as well including reporting back from the summers Annual International Meeting, planning things like chapter development and leadership training, and addressing problems like new rules about safeguarding - it looks like if you're over 16 within JB, you'll be needing to be CRB checked soon.
Anyone can come along to these meetings and see what's going on - we'd really like you to come along too, the next meeting on 22nd November (same time as SMILE though...).
We're really excited about all the weekends coming up - 17plus and SMILE are only a month away so get your letter in fastfastfast to guarantee yourself a bed to sleep in. There are facebook events for both of them so have a search and if you want a copy of the letter just drop us an email at njr@gb.cisv.org.
The participation form for Wild West Weekend is out. The deadline is the 1st of November so the sooner you get them in the better. Again drop us an email at the above address if you want a letter. And if you don't even have the first letter, check it out on jbpedia: search Wild Wild West.
Much NJR love,
JesseJames
