Hi guys I am so excited about our events over the next few months. In November we will be having our traditional Cookie Bake. This time it will be a little different with a lot more activities in the evening and the midnight cookie madness in the Kitchen. In addition to Cookie Bake we are also planning a bowling event and possibly a day helping out at the Humane Society. I hope everyone comes out to have some fun and show your support for JB Detroit.

Ok, so we realize we are a little behind in getting going this fall. If you are anything like me all of the sudden it was October and I thought OMG JB!!!! Anyway, I hope lots of you can make it to the meeting because we need to put together a calendar for the year. If you are there you have a say in what we do. So come one, come all!!!!!

I hope every JBer will be able to make it to this event. This is great way to re-live all of those old CISV memories as well as get the traveling participants ready to go this summer. Everyone is welcome and we have planned lots of cool and fun activities.

Here is the scoop on the movie Paper Clips from Blockbuster: Directed by Joe Fab, this documentary chronicles a rural Tennessee middle school's unique class project: finding a meaningful way to honor Holocaust victims. Brought up in a heavily fundamentalist Christian environment, most of the students had never seen, let alone spoken with, a member of the Jewish faith; nonetheless, the children of Whitwell found a poignant method of honoring the slain. Using individual paper clips to represent each life lost in the Holocaust, the students were inundated with contributions from around the world. Eventually, they managed to procure an authentic German rail car, which would become container to the millions of paper clips collected. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide I hope everyone can make. This sounds like a great topic for discussion.

If you have found this page, I am tickled pink! My name is Sharon Charlebois and I am the JB advisor for our local JB chapter. That is a fancy way of saying I am the adult who helps out where you guys need me. We are excited about this new page and I hope you guys will check it frequently to see what's going on with our JB.
