Member Spotlight - Joe Kelly

Where do you work/live?

I am a student right now. I live off of exit 5 on 496.

How long have you been a Jaycee?

I was a Jaycee for about 5 years and even served on the board as a VP of Individual Events, but I let my membership lapse. I'm back now!

What is your most memorable Jaycee moment?

On the way up to the Delta County Duck Races, we put on a Youtube video of a duck singing about grapes.  It is something that I still reference because the video is so absurd.  

Favorite Jaycee project

The Jaycee project I'm most passionate about is the debate tournament. We ran a couple years ago, and I'd like to get us ready to host another.

Tell us about your family.

I have a daughter, Miriam, who is four. 

What are the top three highlights of your life?

The birth of my daughter. My graduation from Aquinas. And the one time that I danced so hard for St. Patrick's day that I was sore for the next couple weeks.

What is your favorite board or card game?

We live in Michigan, so I feel like I have to say Euchre, even though I'm only okay at it.

What are you looking forward to in the next year?

I will graduate from grad school - something that has been a long way coming.

What song always puts you in a good mood?

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance. It reminds me of dancing with my friends.

What if your favorite place or vacation spot?

My favorite place locally is Hawk Meadow park in Lansing. I often see deer when I go there. Right next door is a bird sanctuary, so that's a good time to walk there as well.

What advice do you wish you were told your first day as a Jaycee?

If you stick with it long enough, there's like a 95% chance that you'll serve on the board.
