Hello JCI WI Members,
I recently had the opportunity to represent JCI
Wisconsin in Madison. As I attended several
meetings with State Representatives and staff
from the Governor’s office, the consistent
message shared was JCI chapters across
Wisconsin are organizing events that are creating solutions to
issues in their towns. At the same time, local economies are
being favorably impacted.
When you talk about your projects, do you say, “We sell beer or
food at the festival”? Or, do you say, “This year, we plan to use
the money we make at the festival to help the fire department
purchase new equipment, get much needed supplies for the
homeless shelter, provide a community involvement scholarship
to a graduating senior and offer a training to the community on
financial literacy”?
Don’t short change your chapters by saying, “We sell beer/food at
the festival”. Take your description one step further and describe
the impact you make with the money you make. Your chapter is
more than beer pouring and brat frys.
Doreen Drescher
88th JCI WI President
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do
everything, but I can do something. And I
will not let what I cannot do interfere with
what I can do.”

That’s Exactly What I Expected!
Brian Devitt
Chairman of the Board
According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of
Expectation is: “the act or state of expecting :
anticipation”.
When you go to a coffee shop, you expect to get a
coffee. When you get in your vehicle and turn the key, you expect the vehicle to start. When you have a
meeting to go to, you expect it to begin on time.
How do you feel when your expectation isn’t met? (When there isn’t coffee? When your vehicle doesn’t
start? When the meeting starts an hour late?). Frustrated, right?
When someone joins your chapter, they have expectations. If those expectations are not met, they will
go somewhere else. Taking a survey of the membership is an easy way to make sure that expectations
are met. If their expectations are in line with the Mission of JCI Wisconsin, then they will be happy,
successful and a part of the organization for years. This membership survey can be found on the National
website at www.usjaycees.org. You will be able to customize it for your chapter’s specific needs.
If YOUR expectations are not being met, find out how you can make it happen, even if that means altering
them. By doing so, great things can happen.
The Envelope Please….
There was a challenge that was put out there in May that ran the duration of the Summer. It was open
to all members of JCI Wisconsin and the prize was a 30 minute call with our NVP Laurence.
How it worked was the chapter with the highest percent of degrees advanced from June through August
wins! That simple. The top 5 Chapters are:
Manitowoc
16%
Onalaska
10%
Rice Lake
10%
Middleton
6%
Owen-Withee
5%
Congratulations to JCI Manitowoc!
