due to the rediculous weather I say we go to the beach or the pool instead of practice today. Uh! Where am I? Africa?
Jump Rope Cancelled today
Megan is in Peru, Mary has a meeting and I don’t have Isolde’s number. Sorry Carli. Jump rope practice will resume next Tuesday 6:30PM at Beech and Borthwick. Bring your friends.
Awesome
The Jujo’s rocked Alberta’s Last Thursday event. Charlotte was a hit being the littlest girl to get in to the double dutch. Thank you to all who came out and participated. That is why we are there. The Jumpin’ Jackie O’s are not about being cool. We are not about showboating or trying to be a performance group for art or social change or any such business. We are about promoting smiles and getting the public involved in jump rope. I guess you can call us jump rope enthusiast. We are introvert excavators. We give confidence and a sense of wonderment and love to the public. The Jujo’s were formed just for the fun of it and I encourage you all to join us or start your own jump rope club and get out there. Get active. Get healthy and get involved in your local community.
Portland has been the perfect breeding ground for our batch of tomfoolery. I encourage the rest of you to find something that brings you joy and the smile a child smiles on Christmas morning that double dutch brings to us old ladies.
So get out and jump or get out there and be a fool. You will fit right in with all the rest of us.
Peace and love,
the Jujo’s

Season 3, Practice 1 Therapy and no holes in our pants
Attended: Mary Cadien, Megan Bledsoe
Practice consisted of trying on jackets in the donation pile at the church, talking about therapy and personality disorders and skipping single ropes. We relived Megan’s hole in the pants and no underwear yoga story, looked for guinea pigs and paid off our Feb rent to the church. It was a fine time but we really NEED YOU to double dutch. The Jujo’s are looking for a few good men and women to come to practice and performances on a regular basis. Our third season should be rockin’ and we just need some folks to jump in and make a commitment. We should be able to get some choreography down for synchronized performance and do some real fun stuff in 2009.
Next week’s practice same time same place. Meet at Mary’s house at 6 PM or meet at the church at 6:30PM- A team meeting to follow practice. Bring some extra cash for beers and pizza, a notebook, calendar and pen and some ideas and enthusiasm.

Indoor space
Hello jumpers and jump enthusiast. Jujos was hoping to start up with our weekly practices this week, but we have come across a dilemma:
no indoor space
It is often cold, dark, and wet in the winter evenings and that just isn’t great jumping weather, so we were hoping to secure an indoor space. Unfortunately, what we were looking into has turned out to be too expensive or has fallen through.
If you happen to know of any local indoor space that is free or cheap, we want to know about it! Contact us if you have any leads. If nothing comes through, we will still start up later this month and will simply jump in the cold. It will be good for us! We will keep you posted!
Last Thursday
Hello jumpers,
We were looking at trying to bust a move at Last Thursday. We would be meeting at approximately 7pm at 21st and Alberta, this Thursday October 30. Email us if you are interested! Or just show up and look for the double dutch.
