Junior State of America

Hey you guys, there is a JSA Leadership Conference tomorrow September 30, 2006 at Santa Monica College. Anybody who wants to go can email me (jonathaninla@sbcglobal.net). The admission is $5 and start from 9:00 AM and ends at 4:00 PM. SMC is located at 1900 Pico Boulevard Santa Monica, CA 90405. Sorry I didn't mention about this conference last Tuesday. The reason why I didn't mention it is because I have just received this information from the headquarters on Thurdsay. I will post again tomorrow to see how things went.

Meeting Started at 11:48 AM

We wasted several minutes to get eveyrone in order *cough cough* please give Phoenix and Jonathan your undivided attention next time :P

Anywho, the Debate over the Oil Drilling in Alaska went pretty well. Jasmin started off with her arguments which were PRO drilling, and Phoenix expanded on why she is for the drilling in Alaska. I (Catherine) continued with my opinions as to why I am against the drilling (con). After I was finished I believe Jack argued for the Pro's side, and Elise argued for the cons. Andrey presented the closing speech/argument and votes were totalled, Cons won the debate.

Next week's debate will be on Capital Punishment! This time research on BOTH PROs AND CONs. Good luck with the research and have a great week!
