What’s up Region VI?
Welcome to our home page for the Senators of Region VI,
I am truly honored and humbled to be representing you and Region VI this year. I am excited and looking forward to traveling throughout the region and beyond this coming year. I am planning to meet as many Senators and Jaycees as I can in the next year. I have a strong legacy to live up to in the next twelve months. As the year goes on, reach out and let me know how the region can help you.
The theme for the 2024-25 year is “Loony Times”. I remember fondly the days of Saturday morning cartoons. One thing that has stuck with me all these years from Looney Tunes is the importance of being myself, that sometimes life just isn’t fair, but the key is to never give up on your goal.
So, this Badger looks forward to leading Region through this year with a ‘can do’ attitude and the knowledge that when life throws an obstacle in our way, we as a team will think outside the box and although we may experience loony times in our lives, we will persevere, together.
All of us have a reason for joining Jaycees. Perhaps it was to meet new people and grow your circle of friends or grow your leadership skills, you as Senators are the ones who never took your eye off your goal and persevered even through the ‘Loony Times’ and became leaders. While most of us are no longer of ‘Jaycee Age’, we still have the opportunity to assist the Jaycees of today and help guide them in reaching their goals. So, one of my focus projects this year is ‘Returning the Favor’, whether that be by providing advice when asked, manpower for key projects or providing a word of encouragement so that this great organization can continue to grow.
The other focus project is providing a small bit of comfort for the patients of local Children’s Hospitals through the donation of a stuffed animal or a children’s book. Many of these kids are in the battle of their lives and perhaps it is your donation of a stuffed animal or children’s book that helps them to persevere through their own ‘Loony Times’ and growing up to be future leaders of this great organization.
