May Open Board Meeting and "May the 4th" Star Wars Happy Hour!

Join us on Monday, May 5th at 6:30 pm CST for our May Open Board Meeting! At our open board meeting, we will discuss upcoming events and more in the new term. And in order to honor the special day (May the Fourth...but on the Fifth!), the monthly meeting will be immediately followed by a virtual happy hour with a fun Star Wars twist! But the party doesn't stop there - we'll be having double the fun. Because we had to postpone our planned Kansougeikai, we will also be adding in our Kansougeikai activities to the happy hour, including our Lord of the Rings trivia! So come hang out with us and get your geek on at our epic happy hour, where we'll celebrate the transition into JETAA Chicago's new term along with all things nerdy.

The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and the happy hour will begin around 7:30 pm (or earlier if the meeting is finished sooner). Relax with fellow JETs for a night of laid back conversation and fun group activities. Join us for one or both! 

Theme (optional): Wear your best Star Wars/Intergalactic space swag (or Lord of the Rings swag!)

Sign up here! 

Open Board Meetings are open to alumni in our jurisdiction (Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana)
