Last night was the first board meeting of 2008. Chairing a meeting, as I found out last night, isn't quite as bad as I expected! Of course I was helped by an enthusiastic team. Everyone is full of ideas for the year ahead and I know that they would all appreciate your support- whether you give them ideas or support them at their events.
This is a busy week in JCI Edinburgh with three events- a board meeting, Personal Development seminar and the second of our Winter Warmer events on Thursday, and next week sees our Charlotte Square Club programme restarting on Wednesday.
I look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to the first "proper" post of 2008. I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Year and are ready to capitalise upon the opportunities that 2008 will present. I'm just back from a trip to Chicago and Las Vegas and even with the jetlag I'm excited about what lies ahead...
JCI Edinburgh is a hive of activity at the moment with a new team full of energy and enthusiasm as the 2008 programme comes into fruition. We're kicking off our calendar with the first of our "Winter Warmers" on Thursday, and I look forward to seeing you at one of these events. Meantime we're organising Personal Development seminars, sorting out Open Evenings, planning the Burns Supper and organising National Conference. I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches to the first of the 2008 newsletters, as well as arranging to meet with new and existing patrons. If you know of any companies or organisations that might be interested in working more closely with JCI for our mutual benefit, drop me an email.
It seems like everyone is blogging at the minute. I've just seen on the news that it may even be influential in choosing the next President of the USA! I hope that this blog will allow you to find out more about what we're up to...by telling you what we're doing we hope that you'll be able to engage more with the organisation and get the most from your membership. Until next time...
