Canceled – Speak Up Practice 2/27 – March Convention

We will be canceling this event and pushing it back to a later date. A rescheduling notification will be sent out for the next date. Thank you!

The 2009 Texas Year End Convention is coming March 5 – 7. Two in particular, Speak Up and Debate. It’s good to practice before heading into competition.

I would like to announce practice in preparation for the Speak Up competition. Practice is a way for those that are entering the debate or speech competition to get some pointers. I have reserved a section at Fudruckers in the Fountains on Saturday Feb, 27th 2010 at 11:30 am. Please write a   short speech about why you joined the Jaycees if you are planning on competing in Speak Up. I look forward to seeing you there.
