Salvete omnes!
I’m Lucas Kuan, the 1st VP. I’m excited to announce the Civis Challenge!
The Civis Challenge is a membership drive I’ve started this year to increase membership of the GJCL. Our goal is to hit 3000 members. To do so, we’ve split up all the different schools that were registered last year into three different levels: 7-50, 51-100, and 101+. We then set each of their goals to grow by 30%, 20%, and 10% respectively. Any chapter with zero students registered last year has a target of registering 4 students this year. They will be considered among the small group section.
We will award the top school in each division based on how much they grew with a $50 gift voucher to the American Classical League Teaching Materials and Resource Center (TMRC). We will also give recognition at state convention to the schools that hit their goals.
The whole drive will be done by the end of Phase 1 of registration so Nov. 15th. This is when we will decide the winners of the gift vouchers. However, we will still recognize schools that hit their goal by the end of Phase 2 registration. Reaching your goal will also win you points at convention.
You can check how many students you had registered last year through this spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet also tells you the membership goal for the coming year. There are two pages: one is sorted by number and one is sorted by name. Both are color coded by tier.
One of the main tenants of the GJCL is to foster the classics, and the best way to do so is increase chapter participation and membership.
I’m sure all of you share the same passion for our Latin family, so I’m sure we will hit our goal.
