This Year Is Flying By!

This is the State Board logo for 2007

I finally got my state shirt and I must say I look pretty good in royal blue :)

So far this year I have been very busy helping other chapters plan projects in their communities and coming up with new ideas. So far I have a list of great ideas including a "Dog Wash". I have also come up with a way for the State Board to raise money. We are going to be selling wooden roses for $1.00 each. Here are a few pictures of some of the colors we are selling:

Let me know if any of you are interested. We will be selling them all year long. You can also contact me for a complete list of the colors available.

April is going to be jam packed for me. I'll be working at Country Thunder the weekend of the 13th, then the next weekend I'll be going to a NASCAR race, after that it's Relay For Life, and then our First Quarter Convention. Chandler will be hosting this one and their theme is Salsa Dancing since it's Cinco de Mayo weekend. I've arranged for Marquis (a fellow ballroom dancer and teacher) to come with his partner and teach some steps friday night. There's gonna be a surprise too! I'll tell you about it after convention...don't want to spoil it.

You might have figured it out by now but I joined a team and will be participating in this year's Relay For Life. I'm excited and can't wait for the experience of a life time.

I want to apologize to all of you too for being so busy. I know I haven't been able to make my phone calls like I used to, but I promise I am still here if you need me. I hope that you will be proud of the work I accomplish this year in the Jaycees and understand how important it is to be involved in your community. There is nothing like seeing the faces of those you've helped.

Well I better get going to bed. I wish you all a happy and safe Easter!

Te Vaya Bien,

Moni

The first weekend of March was the 2007 Parada Del Sol Rodeo. This Year I worked in the VIP section and had a blast. Jonathan and his family came out on Sunday to enjoy the event. Saturday was wear "pink" in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

I know the picture is hard to see (taken with a camera phone) but this is me and Nate. Nate is 6'7" and I'm barely 5'1". With boots on the top of my hat comes to his shoulder.
Yes I am wearing PINK. I also had a pink belt on :) Those who know me well know that I don't wear pink...well I now own three articles of clothing that are pink. Guess I'll just save them for next year hehehe

I hope to post more pictures as soon as I get them.
