Bridge To The Future
The Starship USJCI38 left space dock on Stardate 2009.182. The first away mission was to Lynn Kansas with many stops to exciting new destinations and new life friends.
Away teams have visited the Crescent City Jaycees, Illinois Senate Picnic, Kentucky Bourbon Bash, West Virginia Steak Fry, North Dakota Senate 25th Anniversary, Missouri State meeting, Maryland’s Wine Fest, The Mexico National Meeting, Oregon/Washington Border Bash, Fall Frolic, Virginia Senate 40th Anniversary, Arkansas Holiday Social and the Arizona Christmas Party. We will be entering orbit at Riza3 as shore leave was extended to the crew for the Christmas Holiday Season until Stardate 2010.009.
During the mission to Jefferson City, Missouri I had the opportunity to visit with the incoming Captain of our sister Starship USJCC90, Jeff Lank from the New Castle, Delaware Jaycees. His ongoing mission is to expand the membership of his crew, the US Jaycees and he wishes to include our crew in his mission. He plans to implement a Mentoring Committee to target interested and qualified JCI Senators to encourage, motivate and train active Jaycees to be more successful. The structure will follow his theme to “Listen-Learn-Lead”. I look forward to working with President Jeff and assist the Jaycees in their quest to bring the “Power of Pride” back to the organization we all love.
Our Return the Favor program will continue to encourage Senators to mentor, assist and encourage the younger 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.
As we cross the bridge together, let’s remember that each of us is learning what to do every day. 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.
