IMPORTANT. -NJCL CONVENTION GOERS

IF YOU ARE GOING TO NATIONAL JCL CONVENTION THIS YEAR, BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR PACKET POSTMARKED BY MAY 15 TO NJCL.

ALSO, LJCL HAS A NEW ADDRESS. Make note of it!

LJCL
PO Box 66866
Baton Rouge, LA 70896

New changes are still being made to the website; the NJCL Convention form has some updated information for now.

Agimus gratias tibi!

NJCL Forms! Under Construction.

Salvete, omnes! Excuse the mess in these next coming days, as the site is being remodeled right now! The file download system is still... broken; therefore the NJCL Convention forms are located at this (in)convenient link here!

Anyway, here are things to remember!

NJCL Convention will run from July 26-31, but LJCL will leave July 23 with a VERY exciting side trip.

BE SURE to apply for both the LJCL delegation by May 1st, as there will be no other way to join the trip afterwards, and be sure to fill out your NJCL packet before May 1st, or the price will skyrocket. (kind of)

I look forward to seeing you there and serving as the tech coordinator! Vale!

Salvete LJCL 2011-2012 Sponsors

Salvete LJCL Sponsors:


We hope that you and your students had a smooth and promising start to the school year, and that you are looking forward to starting your JCL chapter!  Included in this mailing is this year’s LJCL membership form.

 

  • In accordance with the NJCL Constitution, please be sure that all members are taking or have taken a classical language or a course in the classical humanities.
  • State dues are $11 per student but will increase to $12 after the October 31 deadline.
  • National dues are $2 per student.
  • Only chapters submitting membership after November 22 will have to pay the $10 national chapter fee, and a $20.00 fee will apply to membership submitted after March 22.  These dates are earlier than NJCL's deadlines in order in order to give us enough time to process your membership and forward national dues to NJCL.  If you are paying dues directly to NJCL, the due dates are December 1 and April 1.
  • If you plan to pay national dues directly to NJCL, please note that you must pay state dues to LJCL in order to be considered a member in good standing of NJCL and to be eligible for membership benefits such as the National Latin Honor Society.


The Louisiana delegation had an amazing trip to National Convention at Eastern Kentucky University!  We learned that the new theme for 2011-2012 is a quote from Horace: dimidium facti qui coepit habet—he who has begun has the work half done. We would also like to congratulate Kurt Ristroph from Catholic High, National Editor, and Dennis Webb from Shreveport, National Constitutional Advisor (a 5-year term).


This year’s state convention will be held from March 2-4 at the Marriott in Baton Rouge.  We have important and exciting new ideas for convention that will be discussed at Fall Forum. This year’s Fall Forum will be held on Saturday, October 29 at Baton Rouge Magnet High School (at the former Lee High) from 1-4:30. Registration begins at 12:45.  We encourage all chapters to bring members.  It is a great opportunity to meet new people, participate in fun activities (with prizes!), attend interesting workshops, and turn in your chapter membership without postal fees (especially since the due date is October 31)!  More information will be provided in the coming weeks.


If you will be new to LJCL this year, please do not hesitate to contact us before Fall Forum.  We would love to send officers your way to introduce you to LJCL procedures and recruit members.  To all new and old sponsors:  we cannot thank you enough for your hard work, without which our students would not be so fired up over "dead" languages. We look forward to seeing you at Fall Forum!  Please let us know if you would like to be removed from this list or if you have names to add to the list.

 


Curate ut valeatis,

Jessica Thibaudeau, LJCL State Chair

Ryan Romano, LJCL State Chair
