Hello CAJC Tigers!!! I thought I would start my ROAR article with a note of congratulations to two of our own, Robert Acherman and Chris D'Autremont, with the announcement of their engagement while vacationing together in Paris!! Who said Tigers can't work together? These two represent the best of the best and I for one, am proud to call them both friends. Congratulations to you both!!! The Tiger Corps represents the "Best of the Best" in everything we do. Thank you to all those who participated at the last Board Meeting in August. That was a truly amazing evening. I was shocked to see fellow Ventura Jaycee Past Presidents and Tigers in attendance, notably, Ken Ferguson, John Clark, Bruce Dandy, Dave Carlson, George Thompson, Randy Davis and JoAnn Rundell. Thank you all for coming out to support the new Tiger Board! I think there was another purpose they were there for, as yours truly, TT #34 was utterly surprised and uttered a very short expletive deleted when presented with JCI Senatorship #69025. I was truly shocked and just now have come down from Cloud 9 where I have been residing. At this time, I would like to welcome to the California Pride, our newest Tigers and they are: Jennifer Baker from the Santa Monica Jaycees Desmond Carreras from the Salinas Jaycees Carolyn Smith JCI Senator and Region X Vice President from the Arizona Jaycees Laurie Ellsworth (Honorary) from the San Jose Jaycees I was extremely proud to swear in these individuals into the CAJC Tiger Corps and if you know of a Jaycee out there that has gone above and beyond and is deserving to be one of the Best of the Best, go to the CAJC Tiger Corps website and download the application. Remember, you have to be NOMINATED and SPONSORED by a TIGER in order to qualify to be accepted. Looking ahead to November 13-15, please remember that is the Auxiliary Weekend in Visalia where we will be hosting the Central California Future Officers Training Seminar (FOTS). Debbie Procedo, your Nasty Tiger and Jeanne Vanderhyde, your Divine Tiger, are working hard to put on a very productive two days for the future of the California Jaycees. Please come out and support their effort and if they have asked you to help train, please be available. Agendas and flyers will be coming out soon, so please be on the look out for them and get them to your local chapters. Please encourage ALL future officers to attend as this will be a VERY informative weekend. Last but not least, congratulations to our Tiger of the Quarter, Debbie Holbrook, from the Santa Clarita Valley Jaycees for running such an excellent training weekend. Congratulations to our very own Tiger Paw, Lynne Hansen for being the Tiger Officer of the quarter. Continued on Page 2

VOLUME 34, ISSUE 2 PAGE 3 Nasty Tiger Letter Hello Tigers, Hope this finds you all doing well and that you had a great summer. We had a great time in Ventura in August and it was wonderful to surprise our own Terrible Tiger Brian Omatsu with his JCI Senatorship. We have been busy preparing for the November meeting in Visalia. We are planning the Future Officers Training (FOTS) for the Jaycees. We decided to hold one FOTS this year in a central location. Our plan is to have all of the Jaycees from California come together for great training and bonding weekend. Jeanne Vanderhyde is chairing this event and she will be reaching out to you to help train the Jaycees. We are also planning a great Scavenger Hunt for Saturday night and we thought it would be great if the Tigers put together a team to show the Jaycees that we still know how to have fun. Please contact me or Jeanne if you would like to help with the training or planning. Don t forget to let me know of any Chapters in your area that would like someone from our Training Task Force to go in and train. I look forward to seeing everyone in November. Take care.
