Meeting Reminder
Date: Monday, June 13
Time: 7p-8p

Come to the meeting Monday night. Our guest speaker is Tom Lamont, the Civic Club Director of the Lake Waccamaw Boy's Home. (He's the liason for civic clubs like the Jaycees.) He will talk about the Boy's home and how the Jaycees are involved with it. As part of our continuing involvement with the Boy's Home, we're asking members to bring sodas and wrapped snacks to the meeting. The Boy's Home has a list of requested donations, and this month they need food and drink. If you are considering bringing a donation, please be sure to arrive at the meeting on time. Mr. Lamont is collecting them and he may not be able to stay for the entire meeting as he has a long drive back to the Boy's Home. Please contact Christina Jaromin if you have any questions about the donations.

Cuisine Night
Date: Thursday, June 16th
Time: 5:30p-7:30p

We're meeting at the "Mellow Mushroom" this month. Not "international" cuisine but some good semi-local flavor. Just a block away from our meeting location on Franklin St. They've got a crazy website: http://www.mellowmushroom.com. Good pizzas (and other food) and beer. Mmm. RSVP to Melissa Brumback.

Random Sushi Night is back with a vengeance. We’ll be eating sushi and other yummy food at Akai Hana, as always. Please e-mail Christina Jaromin if you plan to attend. Also, they will NOT separate the check, so it is NECESSARY TO BRING CASH.

Durham Bulls Games Concessions
Date: Varies, see description
Time: Varies, see description

There are only 5 more games left for our summer Durham Bulls Game fundraiser. We are signed up to run a beer cart on June 30, and August 11 (all Thursday nights). The games have been super-busy, so we need at least 4-5 people for each date. If you'd like to sign up for any of these dates, let me know. If you have not yet signed up for one, please consider it as it is a lot of fun and a major help to our Chapter. We are also working at First Base Hits concession stand on Friday, July 15 and Sunday, August 28. This is a very high-traffic concession stand, so we need 12-14 people for each of these dates. Please let me know if you are available to work on one or both of these days. Check the online calendar for information on times for these games. Alternatively, you can call or email Melissa Feder with any questions. Thanks in advance for your help!
