Fall Forum Recap
October 15th, 2022 at Wheeler High School
Thank you to all of our attendees for coming to the first in-person Fall Forum in three years! Here's a short recap of what happened:
- There were over 250 attendees from 24 chapters, including both familiar and new names.
- From a Roman feast to gladiator games to wax tablet construction, there was a workshop for everyone to attend! Thank you to everyone who hosted a workshop—your dedication helped make Fall Forum truly special.
- Fall Forum marked the kickoff of the GJCL certamen season, where Milton won the Novice category and Walton took both Intermediate and Advanced. We hope to see everyone at future tournaments!
- The all-powerful SCL hosted Ludi events in Ultimate Frisbee, track events, tug of war, and basketball. There were also opportunities for academic testing in four categories along with Latin sight-reading and graphic arts contests. Make sure to check out the expanded opportunities that we will have at State Con!
- A HUGE thanks to Wheeler HS JCL for making this event possible!
- Missed Fall Forum? No worries! GJCL State Convention will occur on April 21st-23rd, 2023 at Rock Eagle. Stay tuned during second semester for more information regarding that event. We are excited to have you there!
