Salvete amici,
Hope you’re staying healthy and doing well. Over the last several months, I closed up the NJCL Website contest and began scoring—I loved seeing so many amazing submissions! Amidst the coronavirus, I’ve assisted in the NJCL’s various social media and digital initiatives to keep us all connected, such as Kahoot, bingo, officers’ videos, and more. I’d love to hear any ideas you have for keeping the virtual JCL love going despite social distancing; be sure to contact me so we can make them work!
I’m incredibly sad that planning meetings, state, and national conventions have been cancelled. It’s only now that I fully realize how large a part of my life you all truly are. Yet it’s been a huge lift throughout quarantine to stay in touch and work with JCL—thank you so very much.
All the best, and please be well!
E corde,

Salvete omnes!
First and foremost, I hope you all are staying healthy. I'm going to miss seeing you all at in-person nationals, but I'm glad we will still be able to connect virtually. The pandemic has made me rethink some of the different projects I was working on. Now, I am sorting out how we can all participate in meaningful spirit and service while social distancing — I already have a few ideas (some of which are inspired by individual states' innovative spirit and service alternatives)! Zooming with the state officers was a delight, and I will be scheduling another one soon. Right now, Club of the Month will be cumulative, with results covering the quarantine months being released before convention. I know many chapters are out of school and quarantined, so I didn't want COTM to become inequitable for chapters with more barriers to scheduling events. Now more than ever, we must lean into the spirit of community, connection, and care that the JCL fosters. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to Zoom to discuss ideas for spirit and service or just hang out. Talking to you all always brightens my (admittedly uneventful) days!
Sending each and every one of y'all JCLove,
Athena Davis
2019-2020 NJCL 2nd Vice President
