Tonight was a great meeting, held at American First National Bank Tower (9999 Bellaire Blvd. 12th floor Houston, TX 77032).
Tonights guest speaker was Rafael Diaz who was a previous President of the Venezuela Jaycees and a member of JCI (also Jaycees). He did a great job of describing the purpose of JCI (http://www.jci.cc/) and what it can do for you. JCI has also come out with their own networking web site JCI eWorld (http://www.jcieworld.cc/) which is great for members to connect on both a business and friendship level with other Jaycees from around the world.
A lot of people dont realize that the Jaycees are an internationally based organization in several countries. Our specific chapter is all the Houston Asian Jaycees (http://www.hajcc.org/).

Every meeting we like to have some kind of game, something which teaches a skill. Tonight we did an impromptu where we had to make others guess the month we were borm with clues. The catch was we could not say a month name, only give hints. For example, I was born in Feb, so I said Valentines. The basis of the game is to think on your feet and become better at impromptu. Was fun! :)
We have some great events and projects coming up in the coming months. Just to name a few: Our bowling mixer at Jillians in the Marque Center off I-10, Convention Corpus Christi in 2 weeks, Senior Appreciation Day, Leadership Seminar with Dr Nguyen, Food for Seniors, Iron Chef Competition, FOYT (4 Young Outstanding Texans) Convention, and more.
We are continuing to collect the aluminum coke tabs which we donate to the Ronald McDonald House (View Details)

We are also collecting parishable items for our troops. Sandy Green, prior Jaycee, soon to re-unite with our chapter, has a cousin over seas. He wrote her a letter which she read at the last meeting mentioning how difficult it is to get the basic items we can easily go down to the corner store and get anytime we want. So we, the Houston Asian Jaycees, on a monthly basis, will collect items for her cousin and he will distribute them to his pack. This is a great way to show how much we appreciate everything our troops are doing for us :)
We have meetings every 1st Wed of every month. Next meeting will be June 4th. For meeting details or any information about any of our events, please go to http://www.hajcc.org/. Or you can give me a buzz, I am the Director of Membership.
In summary, tonight was a great night. We had some new members join, had a great guest speaker, a fun ice breaking game, tasty snacks, and some great plans for the future.
Will post another blog for Jaycees while at Convention in Corpus Christi in 2 weeks. I myself will be competing in both impromptu and Jaycee Idol (same thing as american idol). Should be great fun! Almost all board members for our chapter will be attending, so should be a great turnout.
