UPCOMING EVENTS

SUMMER PICNIC -

AUGUST 8,2009

RANDOLPH, VT

ARRIVE ANYTIME AFTER

11AM

Greetings Fellow Senatos

For those who missed it, we had an enjoyable Annual Meeting at the Steak House in Berlin on May 9th. A lot of important businees was taken care of including a by-law change which moves the Annual Meeting from May to the date of the Summer Picnic. This will ensure that our many "snowbirds" are back for this important meeting each year. We also kicked off the our annual fundraising drive with distribution of tickets for our "50-50 Raffle". The name has been changed to reflect current IRS regulations, but the consept remains the the same.

The winners of our scholarship program were announced. They are Hillary Jackson of Essex High School, Carter Peterson of Enosburg High School, and our "Ernie Chadderdon Memorial" scholarship winner was Karly Wescott Of Enosburg High School.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the summer picnic as we convene Annual Meeting Part 2 and have our elections, renew frienships, and have an awesome meal. See you there.


Thanks again for your trust and support in me and your officers of the Vermont JCI Senate. Please remember - PAY IT FORWARD.

Yours in the Senate,

Steve Rowe

P.S. The Vermont JCI Senate has received a request from one of the daughters of Richard A. Workman, Sr. for any information any of us may have about the Jaycee career of her father. They apparently are working on a project that will be passed onto Richard's grandchildren. They are specifically looking for any photographs of Jaycee conventions where Richard may have been involved. However any contributions of information would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you have any info to pass on.

 


Introduction
The Vermont JCI Senate was formed in November, 1967 by former Vermont Jaycees who had received the JCI SENATORSHIP award. A JCI Senatorship is the highest award given in the Junior Chamber(Jaycee) organization. It is given out of respect to those local chapter members who have given above and beyond to the local chapter and community.

The purpose of the organization then was the fellowship of it's members, through periodic meetings and newsletters. Membership was limited, as it is today, to those Jaycees who are Senators. The total number of Vermont JCI Senatorships awarded is approximately 130.

As the organization has grown and evolved we now are afflilated with the New England JCI Senate and the United States JCI Senate. We attend regional and national meeting on a regular basis and are involved as individuals and a state organization in the USJCI Scholarship Foundation. We became a non profit tax organization in June of 2002.

We publish a quarterly newsletter to our members, and hold regular meeting around the state of Vermont for the betterment of our members and friends. We award 2 scholarships yearly to high school seniors and then forward the winners to the USJCI Foundation Scholarship program. Our focus continues to be friendship and fellowship of our members.

As you look around our website, you will find information from our Chaplain regarding health news of our members, our recent newsletters, Vermont JCI Scholarship applications and information, news regarding our upcoming meetings and various links to Jaycee and JCI Senate sites.

We hope you like our website and will visit it often. You comments can be sent to any of the officers listed on the side of this page. We hope to see our fellow JCI Senators at a meeting in Vermont soon.


THE JAYCEE CREED

WE BELIEVE:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;

That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;

That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;

That governments should be of laws rather than men;

That the earth's great treasure lies in human personality;

And that service to humanity is the best work of life.


- C.William Brownfield JCI Senator #197
