Comments: The think I remember most was the Installation/Year End Banquet. Unknown to me, someone listened to a speech I gave for the Chapter when I was preparing for a Speak Up. It was about Heroes. My Parents, Dave Christopher (50th President of Wyoming Jaycees) & Captain Kirk. My Parents were brought out as a surprise (they live 1200 miles away), then my friend & hero Dave Christopher. I later learned that Dave had contracted MS since we last met, but left his cane in the other room so I would not worry. Now I was wondering about Captain Kirk since there was a Star Trek convention in town and he was there. N3evertheless, I did get an autographed photo. What a surprise! We had a fun year. I made many friends, many of which are friends today. My year ended while I was recovering from the Chicken Pox. Thank You Paula Peters for giving my speech at the Year End Banquet.

Comments: It was my years of learning at The Rochester Area Jaycees which enabled me to help another chapter grow to become one of the finest in Michigan. Their success has helped me earn statewide recognition, a Presidential Medallion and my Senatorship #58945 from my new home chapter, the Farmington Area Jaycees. This may not have been possible if I had not been a member of The Rochester Area Jaycees from 1989 through 1994.

Cheryl Satterthwaite JCI# 66119 1999

Board of Directors: Paula Peters, Community VP; Renee Henderson, Treasurer

Highlights: That year, we ran successful projects such as Senior Easter Baskets, Heritage Festival, Safety Town, Haunted House and Christmas Shopping Tour.

Comments: This was the first year after the “calendar year” change.  The year started off with a great opportunity for the chapter and for myself.  I was selected by the 75th President of the Michigan Jaycees, Janie Connor (Bergeron) to attend the first U.S. Jaycees Local Presidents Summit.  It was a great experience and I made many friends across the country that I continue to see at U.S. Jaycees events.   While the year had a limitless amount of challenges, it gave me a strong foundation to launch my leadership career in the Jaycees.  I have gone on to serve the Michigan Jaycees in numerous positions including District Director in 2000, Community Development Vice President in 2005, and Region F Director in 2007.

Gary Coats JCI# 68629  2000

Board of Directors: Michelle Tribisondi, Cheryl Satterthwaite, Tedd Brown, Dawn Murray

Highlights: running the core projects – Senior Easter Baskets, Sausage Grilling at Heritage Festival, Safety Town, Haunted House, and Christmas Shopping Tour. Getting a pie in my face at a GMM after losing my gavel, preparing GMM agendas at work during lunch on GMM days, and many organized piles of JC papers spread out on my living room floor most of the year.

Awards and Recognition: Blue Chip

Comments: In addition to the board members, some of the key members of 2000 included Paul Mayer (Newsletter Editor and Mr. Everything), Paula Peters (Safety Town chair and advisor), John Crawford (joined in May; co-chaired Haunted House), Jason Bruce (co-chaired Haunted House), and Judge Lisa Asadoorian (Christmas Shopping Tour chair), and Elspeth Galloway (joined in June; was at just about everything…that’s what happens when you’re dating the president). I thoroughly enjoyed being president of our great chapter. I welcomed trying to live up to the standards set by past RAJC presidents including good friends such as Paula Peters, Terri Brady (Herman), and Marty Ray. I was very proud to lead our organization as we grew, literally and figuratively. It was one of the great experiences of my life and I loved every minute of it – all of the “ups” and even the few “downs” (opportunities!). Our activation grew during the year, our membership grew through the year, and our finances also increased. Notable recruits in 2000 include Krista Tocco (RAJC president in 2003) and Elspeth Galloway (became Elspeth Coats in 2002; RAJC president in 2006).

Highlights: We worked on developing a few new cornerstone projects that lasted a few years while still running our tried and true Heritage Festival, Safety Town, Haunted House and Christmas Shopping Tour programs.

Theme: Unlocking the Magic of the Rochester Area Jaycees

Awards and Recognition: There were a lot of District, Region and State Awards and Recognition throughout the year. We were named #1 Chapter of the year for our District. I am most proud of our Blue Chip as everyone worked very hard to achieve this standard of excellence. I was recognized as a top 10 President for Michigan with the Martin P. Luthy Memorial Award but it was truly the chapter that achieved that.

Comments: Our chapter was going through a rough time. Our membership had shrunk to 30 members and due to lack of recruitment and activation, the leadership pool was getting pretty slim. There was no President the year before and our chapter would not have survived another year on that track. So, the tribal elders hoodwinked a wet behind the ears two year member to be President. I had A LOT of help. With the guidance of three of my mentors, Paula Peters, Ellen Libke and Cheryl Satterthwaite we were able to grow the chapter to 38 members by the end of the year. Our activation was over 80% the entire year and our members were having F-U-N fun. We focused on activating our members and recruited. I am very proud to say that of the 14 new members added in 2003, 9 have gone on to serve on our chapter’s board of directors in future years, now that’s leadership in action. As for me, I have gained so much from my Jaycee experience excelling both personally and professionally. I cannot thank this organization enough for the opportunities that I have been blessed with. I went on to be District F3 Director in 2004, Region F Director in 2005, Administrative Vice President for the MIJCs in 2006 and Individual Development Vice President for the MIJCs in 2007. With 8 years left before I age out, I look forward to continuing my development in the Jaycee organization.

Highlights: Safety Town, Haunted House, and Christmas Shopping Tour continued to be strong projects for us.

We stepped up our PR with press releases every month! We hosted the Inter-Service Club Dinner to rave reviews and involved a number of service clubs that had not been seen there in years. Thank you to our own Lisa Asadoorian for speaking at the event.

Awards and Recognition: MIJC Overall Chapter of the Quarter 2006 Q1, MIJC Overall Chapter of the Quarter for Base Group B every quarter, Giessenbier for base group B, Luthy President, USJC Third place overall for International Area of Opportunity, USJC Third place in base group for overall programming.

Comments: We finished the year with many great awards and recognitions. This was our first time in a number of years to submit full programming books in all areas, but you never would have known by the quality of the books. At the end of the year we were at growth with 44 members, had run 92 distinct projects, and raised $10,816. There are so many great memories from 2006 and that is due in large part to the great participation from everyone at all levels of the chapter. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s involvement.
