JA Annual Meeting and Luncheon

More than 100 JA supporters attended the Annual Meeting and Luncheon last week. We reviewed the past year and announced how many students we reached, which was more than 29,000...a 9-percent increase from last year! We also had a chance to recognize individuals and companies who have gone above and beyond to help us throughout the years. Lastly, we set goals and planned for the upcoming school year. We are aiming to reach 33,000 central Ohio students during 2007-2008!

Another great week of camp!

Danielle Overmeyer was one of eight guests that toured camp at the end of June. The guests got to see 50 kids buzzing around the city--making products, enforcing laws, and cashing paychecks. The lucky attendees also received money to buy products from the businesses, things like paper weights, flower pens, and sports key chains. The employees in the businesses worked hard to make enough money to pay back their bank loan by the end of camp.
