Senators attending the Fall Board Meeting in Seattle
Texas Senators, if you can't make the January Convention in Houston, you can still be part of it by sponsoring a bottle. Click for details  USJCI Winter Board Registration in Houston. Letter from the President 2008-2009 marks the 41st year for the Texas JCI Senate and I am proud to serve this great organization this year. We have been faced with many challenges this year and are meeting them head-on. Our year started with the news that we lost a great friend in past president of the Texas JCI Senate Donnie Yandle #52646. Donnie was directly responsible for re-activating me in the Texas JCI Senate and I have chosen to dedicate this year of service in his memory. We hope to have a great impact on our Jaycee organization and also to grow to the record membership level achieved by Donnie in the 1998-1999 Senate year. Your assistance and participation this year will go a long way toward helping us reach these lofty goals. Most recently we have seen our Jaycee family hit hard by Hurricane Ike as it came landward in early September. Many were without power for days, weeks, or more. Some had minor damage to their property and/or homes while others were completely wiped out. The Texas JCI Senate is collecting funds to be distributed directly to our Jaycee family who are in dire need of assistance and you can participate by emailing me or treasurer Logan Giesie #51120 for information on how to contribute. The Texas JCI Senate will be hosting the USJCI Winter Board meeting in Houston, TX on January 22-25, 2009. We hope all Jaycees and Senators from Texas will take this opportunity to join with us in welcoming our friends from across the nation to Houston for a great time in Houston. Chairman Dave Gilkeson #50809 and his committee have a very full and exciting convention planned. During this event we will also be hosting a charity golf tournament on Friday January 23 to raise money for the Donnie Yandle Memorial Scholarship fund presented by the USJCI Senate Foundation. Please contact Bill Madding #28920 for more information on this event or for more Donnie Yandle Memorial fundraising. We hope you enjoy our award winning website (recognized as one of the Outstanding State Websites by the USJCI Senate for 2007-2008). Special thanks go to Texas Jaycee Ron Harrop for his work getting us back online. This year webmaster Keith Locke #28962 has gone even farther with additional content and new features. Please be sure to give him your comments and compliments as you visit the many links on our site. Thanks for helping to make 2008-2009 a great year for the Texas JCI Senate. 41st President – Texas JCI Senate

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 government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth s great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity
is the best work of life.
