for this Year
5. Regional Service Events
OJCL President Brian Johnson's undefinitive definitive list of the top 5 events you should be excited for this year.
4. Make A
Difference
Day (MADD)
3. OJCL Fall Forum
A brand new event this year that will take place October 1st at the Columbus Academy. Expect a day of tests, workshops, games, creative arts, and most importantly, hanging out with some of the coolest Latin students in the state. This will give you a taste of what OJCL State Convention will be like.
2. NJCL
Convention
What is NJCL? The common saying is that it's just like an extreme and better version of States, and that is honestly the perfect description. NJCL is a week long, has more tests, more events, more contests, and more people. What a way to meet and have a fantastic time with a whole bunch of new people! I have had an absolutely amazing experience at all the national conventions I have been to, and I know that you will too.
If your region's Gubernator is doing his or her job, you should expect some service opportunities throughout the year. These events have been pretty cool, and I personally love attending them. They include getting together and making letters for soldiers, or Project: Linus events. Look out for the dates for these!
The service highlight of the year, MADD, is a day long service project that takes place in each of the three regions. Every year, large groups of OJCLers get together and do something great in their communities. Always a fantastic experience.

OJCL Convention
OJCL Convention is pretty much the highlight of the year. I always get so excited in those weeks leading up to it, and for good reason. At OJCL convention, you get the chance to compete with everyone in your school, and against everyone in the state on things like graphic arts, creative arts, and academic tests. Competition isn't really your thing? Then just wait until you see spirit. Cheering along with your peers really brings an ordinary ballroom to life in ways nothing else can. Looking to broaden your horizons? Come to one of our many fantastic colloquia sessions, ranging from Classics in the movies to making frescoes (and so on and so on as far as you can think). There's something for everyone here, and it's an event that should not be missed.
