A Letter from the President…

Welcome to the newsletter for May 2025, Felis Onca.

Well the wheels of fate finally turned and did not run me over – we got the old girl on the cover of the Journal (and the car too).  It’s hard to act lost in your own neighborhood, but we are happy it all turned out...

Also pleased with the way things turned out at this year’s AGM.  Mark Mayuga from the LA club will be taking over as President, and judging by the outpouring of support and volunteerism he is already starting to see, I am hopeful that leadership will grow unified and strong as a national club in order to support us and you at the local level! See a letter from our new President in the club section of this month’s newsletter.

Very important announcement for IEJC members:  at the AGM this year our club has submitted a proposal to host the International Jaguar Festival to be held in Central CA in 2026.  You can see the proposal details in the club section of this newsletter. This is a great honor and responsibility and a chance to really put our club on the JCNA map after almost 20 years. Please consider volunteering your ideas and time to help make this the best IJF ever!
