I’ve been a member of JCI now for just under 3 years.  Everytime I go to a national event, I always return feeling really energised and excited, and also tired (you don’t tend to get much sleep).  But, it’s interesting because a quick glance at Facebook shows that it’s not just me; it goes to show that when you spend time with people who just want to meet more people and learn new skills, the excitement, or thrill, is really catching.
