NEWS & UPDATES!
The first few months of 2017 have zoomed by and the CJLA show season is in full swing! The first part of the year is always crazy hectic for us in the office as we prepared for the 2016 CJLA Award Banquet. On top of that, during the same time we put out an issue of this magazine and get going on the new year of CJLA! It takes lots of hours but somehow it all gets done. Whew!
CJLA members for everything YOU do to make this organization and this banquet a success. Every year we say we can’t do it without you… and that is the truth! We are constantly reminded about how much YOU care about our youth and this junior livestock industry! It’s a great feeling!
In this issue check out the attached Sanctioned Show List and also the Upcoming Events Section for updates. Pacific Coast Jackpot of Gold has cancelled their event for this year. There are still a lot of shows in the coming months all the way through the end of the year. Remember that your top eight shows count for year-end totals but the tie breakers for both division and showmanship are the number of shows you earned points at in that division. It often happens at the end of the year that placings change based on this tie-breaker rule! So keep on trucking and keep on showing! All the sanctioned shows and updates are also posted on the CJLA website calendar (www. cjlainfo.com).
2017 memberships are pouring in and it is exciting to see so many new members joining! We have had many inquiries about how we get information out to everyone. We mainly send out E-Blasts with news, information, and point updates. We also post everything on the CJLA website and in each issue of this magazine. Due to the cost of postage, we only mail paperwork for year-end stuff unless there is a special instance where we need to get paper copies to all members. PLEASE be sure to read your EBlasts – if you are not getting any – let us know so we can doublecheck your email addresses! The next question is “When are points posted”? Points are recorded as show results are received. We tabulate point totals in groups of shows to coincide with each issue of Pacific Showcase. We also E-Blast and post on the CJLA website at the same time. We also realize the whole points system can be a little confusing so contact us if you have any questions at all and we will be more than happy to help you out! The CJLA Rule Book is posted on the website and we recommend everyone print a copy for your reference!
I think this is about all the news for now …… so go full speed into the weeks and months ahead! Set new goals and work hard to achieve them! Be sure to enjoy the journey along the way! Stay safe, and be sure to thank your crew that helps you get it all done. And say Thanks to those awesome people who work so hard to put on those shows you attend! CJLA Questions? Emails can be sent to cjlainfo@yahoo.com or through the CJLA website: www.cjlainfo.com
