Salvete!

This winter has been a blast! As always, I have enjoyed having the honor of getting to read and judge all of the incredible Club of the Month submissions for the Spring months. I have also been making the graphics for the Instagram to showcase all of the winners for each month. In March, I attended the Spring Planning Meeting where I filmed and edited the National Classics Week Promo Video. Unfortunately, we have been having a lot of technical difficulties when it comes to getting that video uploaded. Hopefully it will eventually make its way to the NJCL Youtube page! In April I finished and published the 2024 NJCL Spirit and Service Packet! You can find it on the NJCL Instagram! In May, I began making plans for Spirit prizes for National Convention! I can’t wait to see you all in Knoxville!! Valete amici!

Salvete!

I hope the beginning of summer has been great! Since the Spring Torch: U.S., I’ve sent out three more newsletters and added a Newsletter Tab to the website to make signing up easier. In addition, I hosted a Minute-Taking Presentation for state secretaries (and I’ll be hosting another open to everyone on July 13!). As for the Website Contest, I finished judging currency points and the overall contest. I also organized the CoCo’s Google Drive by combining duplicate folders and creating new ones. I continually updated the NJCL Calendar with state events, deadlines, and ancient Roman festivals. In terms of minute-taking, I diligently took minutes at Spring Planning and all officer meetings. I also joined the other officers in creating a National Classics Week promo video! Lastly, alongside the other officers, I selected winners for the Registration and Representation & Accessibility Scholarships. I can’t wait to see you all at Nationals! Valete,
