Michigan Jaycees 2Q Convention – August 12-14 2011: A First Timers View
Michigan Jaycees 2Q Convention – August 12-14 2011: A First Timers View
Packed and energized for the weekend to come, I locked my apartment doors, tossed my gear in the back my truck and headed for Grand Rapids.

I thought about the evening baseball game, opening ceremonies, party and how I would be able to sleep after all this excitement. This was my first Jaycee Convention, the first time I would truly feel as though I was part of something much bigger than any one region or chapter.
