Goodbye, Dear Friend

This week we lost a dear friend, Allen Pierce Senator 43600, President of the United States JCI Senate in 1997 -1998. He lost his battle with Cancer on Sunday, February 28, 2010.

Some of you may be solemn

     Some of you may be Joyous

Some of you may be sad

     And, some of you may be happy

We have lost a wonderful friend and an outstanding member of our Senate Family, but Allen is not really gone, for he will continue to live forever in our hearts.

I, and many of you had the pleasure of spending some time with Allen and sharing memories and experiences during the Mid Year BOD meeting in Kissimmee, in January and then again in Orlando Just two weeks prior to his passing.

Let us not mourn, but celebrate the life of Allen Pierce, for of all the millions of people in this world we, the privileged few, had the opportunity, the honor and the privilege of knowing and loving this wonderful man.

Allen's passing leaves a void in our hearts but the memory of the part he played in our lives will live forever.

Goodbye, dear friend.

Bridge To The Future

The Starship USJCI38 left space dock on Stardate 2009.182. Our Year Long mission is to seek out new friendships and meet interesting new life forms. We certainly did that in Kissimmee, Florida where I came in contact with a life form that had long skinny arms and legs with big, round ears and a round black nose. He was accompanied by a white species that had a long yellow snout, big yellow webbed feet and uttered a squeaky sound. The away mission was successful and we renewed many friendships with close to 300 attendees including 15 Past US JCI Senate presidents. We were also honored with visitors from ASAC, ASE, United Kingdom, Canada, and Trinidad. I hope many of you were able to meet them.

The Bridge Crew is performing excellently and is serving our members well. Our voyages have taken us from Maine to Mexico and from Honolulu to Heathrow. I have met many new friends and enjoyed seeing old friends from around the country and internationally as well. One of my truly joyous duties has been to be a part of presenting Senatorships to many new crew members what an honor that is.

The Captain of our sister ship the USJCC90, Jeff Lank has implemented a Mentoring Committee to target interested and qualified JCI Senators to encourage, motivate and train active Jaycees to be more successful. If you have not yet signed up to be a part of the solution I encourage you to do so. Details have been posted to the e-newsletter and in the Senate Scene. As we travel across the Bridge to the Future we can help the Jaycees to Listen, Learn and Lead. This is another way in which we can assist the Jaycees to be the best that they can be and to boldly go beyond what we may have achieved in our Jaycee careers to build a new growing and vibrant organization.

Many candidates have announced their intention to seek an elected position in the US Senate for the coming year. I encourage each of you to attend your Regional meeting and hear what the candidates have planned. I plan to beam to each of the regional meetings and would be pleased to spend some time with each of you.

Our one year mission will be completed soon and the Starship will make its final voyage to Concord, California to be de-commissioned. This will be an outstanding finish to a successful voyage and I hope each of you has made plans to attend.

It’s been a long road getting from there to here. Let us remember those who have served us in the past and build on the foundation they have laid before us.

Live Long and Party in Concord.
