We all know that JCI has a long history, but you don't fully appreciate just how rich the JCI history is until you met past JCI members. I was doing a community engagement on behalf of the Chapter a few month ago when I met Bev Dixon, a past JCI member, in the audience. Bev told the audience after my talk that she was a JCI member for 5 years and those 5 years were filled wit happy and wonderful memories and experiences. Bev then invited me to visit her home so I could view Bev's "JCI collection".
So on Saturday the 24th of Sep, Bron, Judi and I joined Bev Dixon and Ray Allen, two past JCI members, at Bev's Blackburn house to talk about JCI history. Bev first joined JCI in 1979 and was a member of the Burvale Chapter. During her 5 JCI years, Bev was extremely active and well accomplished, which was clearly reflected in the photos, trophies, certificates and newspaper articles that Bev presented to us.
Having seen this wonderful and rich JCI history, the Chapter is organising a reunion in 2012. We would love to have all of you with us. Please contact jciwh2010@gmail.com if you would like to join us at the reunion.
Your Chapter President, Suzi
