President Gary's MessageOur condolences go out to the families of Senators Nalliah Narendra 2048, Gerald D Willis 9113, Frank Harris 1082, Roy S Nishizaki 3000 and Maple Leafs 228 Judy Brighton, Maple Leaf 079 Judy Tustin. Congratulations to Bill Rowe 3475 Past National President 1964 - 65 and Elaine on their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a surprise party. Seen arriving were Senators Barney Ziola 14018 and Molly, Tony Hunt 4951 and Brenda, Glen Steeves 4584 and Marie. News from Bill Enefer 8136 that Rick Pinchin 26673 a Past President of the Winnipeg Junior Chamber has been elected Chairman of the Mid Canada JCI Senate. Congratulations Rick. Beware Victoria; Winnipeg has appointed their Chairman for their bid for the 2007 Crew Meeting to be presented at the Calgary Crew Meeting next May. The Co-Chairmen are John Deacon 25373 and Mike Pearson 25378 (Still working together, check their Senate numbers). Thank you for stepping forward. It was great catching up with Jay Burns 2548. I met him when we were both loading a container of hospital supplies destined for the Philippines through the Rotary World Help Network. It was fun talking about the past but it’s no fun talking about how many years ago. I gave my JCI Senate business card to the team leader at the loading and he proudly announced that he used to be a Jaycee but they kicked him out when he was 40. My reply to him was that I knew he had a great training back ground by his ability to lead. Former Jaycees will always standout in a crowd. As your President I receive JCI Senate Newsletters from around the world and it keeps me informed about Jaycees and Senators. There are 200,000 JCI members and millions of JCI Alumni. There are 6000 communities located in more than 100 countries throughout the world. The problem of Jaycee growth is improving but slowly as we all share the same goals. The following is courtesy of the Australia Newsletter and a word from the World President! (Fernando Sanchez-Arias) (This message was sent to JCI members, world – wide) “When I became a member, one of the most motivating events I remember was the awarding of JCI Senatorships to some of our colleagues, who were usually surprised at receiving the honor. Listening to the reasons why they were recognized, their achievements, their dedication and their discipline was extremely inspiring for me! I believe in the importance of the JCI Senate for the present and future of our organization. JCI Senators in all our countries represent our past and are also the best examples of the present. They support, in many ways, the activities in our local and national organizations. Serving as an inspiration to current members, they motivate them to continue their JCI careers. While in Estonia and Belgium, I had excellent conversations with Senate members and learned that active members interact with JCI Senators in countless ways that help members and that will help JCI be a larger, stronger, healthier and better-positioned organization. Times have changed and we need to add more dynamism and effectiveness to all entities and systems that give life to JCI. In many countries and regions, the JCI Senate as an organization and Senators in general play a major role in improving their national organizations. In Australia we see an excellent example of how a network of committed and successful Senators can add vitality and freshness to an organization that had been struggling for many years and is now full of energy, hope and certainty of its success. Remember Activate and Re Activate Jaycees and new and long time Senators. Thank you to all of you that have sent in a donation of your choice. Would you believe that there are approximately 600 Senators who have never sent in a donation? Yes it’s true! Our survival is in your hands. Barney mails twice as many newsletters than e-mails. You can help to lower the overhead by receiving the Senate news by E-mail. If you are currently receiving the Newsletter by regular mail and have an E-Mail address, please help us cut down the expenses by letting Barney know if you wish to receive it by E-Mail. I look forward to a change in the numbers above as well as your great comments. Adios Gary! “We will remember them”

The new store will be 40% larger. This is certainly more pleasant news than some of the events of last year. Last spring (2003), I was beaten by a gang of masked youths during an attempted robbery of our business. Five days later I had quadruple bypass surgery for which I had been on the waiting list for a number of months. (Mitch – I am very surprised at the sentence that the Judge gave to the youths involved in your case, especially after the seriousness of the offence and the beating you took.
