I received word this event has made Tim very happy. I know in talking to those in attendance it was wonderful for them to be back as a group once again. Some of these JCI Senators had not seen each other in over 20 years. I hope we can get together again for some good times. And "Teddy Bear" remember, I will keep you posted on the upcoming JCI Senate events so you can surprise many and be there. July 18th - The 34th Annual Pig Roast of the Ohio JCI Senate was held. Those that are still with us can hardly believe a project to bring JCI Senators together back 34 years ago is still going on. They are quite proud to see JCI Senators still sharing in the fellowships and friendships.

And for many of you, YES, the pink shirt is now really history!! The drawing was held and the infamous pink shirt will never be seen again.
