Junior Chamber presents First Annual Charlotte FlipsCharity Flip Cup Tournament
UPDATED INFO ON REGISTRATION AND PRIZES CLICK HERE (as of 2/25/09)
Save the date of March 6, 2009 and prepare for a good, cheap time-of-your-life. Not only will you and five of your closest friends be competing for drinking glory, but proceeds will benefit the Charlotte Junior Chamber and the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center.
What is Flip Cup? It's this outrageously fun drinking game. See for yourself.
Rules for playing Flip Cup:
Two teams stand on opposite sides of a table, facing one another. As there are equal players on each side, the players directly facing each other are opponents. In front of each teammate is a Solo cup filled with a standard amount of beer. Generally, the first line inside a Solo cup is used as a marker.
Competition:
At the start of the race, the first member of each team drinks his or her beverage. When finished, the cup is placed face up at the edge of the table, and the player who drank it attempts to flip the cup until it rests face down on the table.[3] If he or she is not successful on the first try, the cup must be reset and re-flipped. Only after the first teammate is done flipping the cup successfully, can the next person proceed. Whichever team finishes drinking and flipping all its cups first is the winner.

Decisions That Insure Success - Size Matters!
BY LAURA NEFF
Decisions. We all make'em. Every day is full of 'em. And even not making a decision is deciding not to decide. There's no escape!
As a Life Leadership coach, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon lately as I work with clients who are up to some pretty darn big stuff in their lives. We spend so much time and energy worried about, wondering about, and working toward the big decisions in life, that we can so easily miss the countless small decisions that truly make up the majority of our life experience and success, or lack thereof!
Think about it. From the time you got up today to the moment you chose to stop and read this article, you've been a decision-making machine. An example? In the last two minutes, here's just a partial list of the decisions I made:
- To reschedule with a client instead of pushing our appointment back today
- To eat that last bit of dark chocolate instead of leaving it for later
- To share the awesome quote on the end of my tea bag instead of thinking, "Oh, that's nice," and tossing it in the trash
- To come back out to my office instead of finding something to do inside our house
- To continue writing this article instead of checking my email for the 95th time today
When you are conscious about the myriad small decisions made throughout your day, and you can choose, with intention, to make many small decisions that honor your values, vision and goals, you will be taking full responsibility for actively creating the life that you want!
For example, let's look at how seemingly small and insignificant decisions can truly be supporting personal values. My decision above to reschedule with my client was one that honored my value of spaciousness, as I've committed to not cramming my schedule with back-to-back meetings, and moving our time back would have pushed right up against the next meeting on my calendar. It also honored my value of integrity, in that it's important to me to uphold my professional structure, and bumping the session back today would have been out of integrity with what I've asked of my clients regarding scheduling. Munching that last bit of chocolate honored my values of fun and indulgence. Sharing the quote? That honored my value of inspiring others. And so on.
Don't get me wrong: the above examples are not to indicate that I, or anyone, has this conscious decision-making process down pat. In the moment, I definitely had some back and forthing in my mind, and our minds are so fantastic that it all happened in about a millisecond. And when I'm not on my toes, there are plenty of times that I slip into unconscious decision-making, and the result is that it's a crap shoot...sometimes my decisions are in line with my values and vision, and other times they're not. There's no guarantee if I'm not awake for the ride, because what's deciding might be my values, but it might also be a sense of fear, lack, insecurity, or some other shadowy side of my inner self!
Now, imagine a whole day of conscious decisions...walking the stairs vs. taking the elevator, calling that colleague instead of emailing, stopping to hug a significant other instead of rushing by to do the next thing on the list, cooking a quick, healthy meal instead of ordering pizza (again), choosing calmness amidst a traffic jam, flossing instead of telling yourself you "don't have time," etc. There are countless tiny decisions we make every day, and every single one of them is a golden opportunity to recommit, and recommit, and recommit again to what we value the most and what we truly desire in our lives.
Bringing consciousness, awareness to the small decisions we make each day is one of the most surefire ways to insure you actually get what you want out of life and become who you want to be. No one can do that for you, so truly, when you finish reading this sentence, what will you choose next?

Climate Change: Making global impact through local action
You've heard the talk about climate change. But what can we as young activ
e citizens do?
Scientists tells us that actions taken—or not taken—will have a profound effect on the future of our world. As global citizens committed to positive change, environmental sustainability is a serious issue for JCI in 2009. JCI has a commitment to advance the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which both contain resolutions for environmental sustainability. That’s why in 2009 JCI is addressing this global problem. The 2009 JCI Leadership Summit at the UN in Geneva will focus on climate change and what we can do across the organization, but don’t wait until July to get started. Take action today to offset the negative effects of environmental damage.
Commit
Making a commitment to reduce the carbon footprint on a personal or organizational level is the first step toward impacting climate change. As young active citizens working toward positive change, our actions will resonate in our communities to show our commitment to environmental sustainability.
In Japan, JCI Kyoto Members obtained certification for Kyoto Environmental Management System (KES), a set of standards to manage and reduce the burden to the environment in running organizations of any size. To maintain their certification, JCI Kyoto members set concrete goals and executed projects to preserve the environment, educate the public, raise awareness and reduce the organization’s burden to the environment.
Additionally, the Organizing Committee of the 2009 JCI European Conference has committed itself to carbon neutrality, and has initiated projects such as tree planting to offset the carbon footprint of the Conference.
Educate Yourself
Do you know what your carbon footprint is? Or what the experts are saying about climate change? Read up on how climate change is affecting our world today at the United Nations Environmental Programme website (UNEP), including Questions and Answers with UNEP experts.
Once you’ve studied, educate members of your local community and call them to action. Members of JCI Hammamchatt in Tunisia raised awareness about the seriousness of climate change and called participants to act to reverse climate change in their daily lives in their “Lasting Development” seminar. The seminar focused on teaching people how to produce and consume differently to make a lasting change, both for this generation and the generations of the future.
Act
Individual, local, national - climate change can be combated at every level. Choose a project tailored to your community, and begin today.
Members of JCI Coronel Oviedo in Paraguay took action to raise community awareness about climate change and preserve the environment by planting 700 trees in their local community.
JCI Menton Roquebrune Cap Martin in France took the initiative to clean up the French Riviera with its Boat Service project. The project included steps to educate yacht operators about the negative effects of pollution and waste collection in the Riviera.
Learn more about what you can do as an organization or an individual with the UNEP’s Twelve Steps to Kick the CO2 Habit.
Unite
Joining together with other like-minded groups and individuals magnifies the impact of climate change efforts. Within the JCI global network, join in the discussion at workshops on climate change at each of the four Area Conferences.
And this July, don’t miss the opportunity to unite with other JCI Members to develop concrete plans to impact climate change at the JCI Leadership Summit at the UN in Geneva. Registration is open until June 26. Register today
Find partners working toward the same goals in your community, or tap into larger networks. To make an organization-wide commitment at the global level, check out the Caring for Climate platform of the UN Global Compact or the Climate Neutral Network
