As chairman for the US JCI Senate's annual meeting in Rochester, MN the week of June 21 - 25, 2015, There are many Canada Senators who may enjoy coming to our lovely state, and Rochester is the home of the world renowned Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic is directly across the street from the Kahler Grand Hotel (our host hotel). We are very excited to be offering for early hospitality on Sunday, June 21 the hog roast. Description of the menu & details included in the article. This is an out of the ordinary style of early hospitality, and we need to have folks pre-register for it. There will be NO guarantees for this event by registering on-site. The MN JCI Senate is enthusiastically inviting all of you to 'SET SAIL FOR THE LAND OF LAKES, ICE, & MINNESOTA NICE! On Sunday, June 21, 2015 we are kicking off our week of fun, fellowship, and food with an exciting early hospitality event. We are having a hog roast as our featured early hospitality meal. In Peace Plaza, which is located right outside our host hotel {Kahler Grand Hotel} the hotel chefs are going to be roasting a hog, and serving it with country style potato salad with sour cream, bacon, & scallions, luscious roasted sweet corn on the cob, baked beans, classic cole slaw, fresh watermelon slices, cheddar cheese corn bread & a speciality cake to top it all off. We will be serving this extraordinary early hospitality delight from 6:00 pm
to 8:00 pm only. As this event is being catered for us, we need to have as accurate a count for the meal as possible, therefore we are highly encouraging you to pre-register. Registering at the door will NOT guarantee you the opportunity to have this wonderful meal. At 8:00 pm, our hospitality room will open for socialization and cold beverages. We can already imagine and hear the laughs as you reacquaint with each other sharing your times since you were last together. Oh, and we can hear the playing cards being shuffled at some of the tables and the dice being rolled on other tables. Our indoor hospitality room comfortably seats 300-350 folks. Our Swedish Chef's Greeg & Jueery {Greg Green #65761 & Jerry Will #24873} have diligently planned a regional menu of delectable delights for everyone. One of the scrumptious items to be featured is a creamy chicken & wild rice soup. They have located a pot {caldron} large enough to use their boat oars to stir the soup. They have also been working with Sven on raising enough cows for some delightfully delicious grilled hamburgers. Many, many more scrumptious meals and snacks will abound. Snacks both hot & cold will be featured through out the week between meals. Our bartenders, Ole' & Lena {Don #64932 & Doreen 64069 Lietzau} have assured us that their ice, probably taken from several of our beautiful lakes, will keep your beverages at the optimum temperature. They have also taken several of their wagons and loaded them to over flowing with soda, water, beer, wine, and even some of that there hard liquor all to keep your thirst quenched while you are with us. Speaking of our host hotel, the Kahler Grand Hotel is located in beautiful Rochester, MN. Consistently recognized as one of the most liveable cities in America. Rochester was rated #6 of the "10 Best Cities for the Next Decade" by Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, July 2010. Rochester is built on the world-renowned Mayo Clinic's rock-solid foundation. In return, the community serves as host to 2.7 million visitors each year, many of them receiving care at Mayo Clinic. Currently more than 100,000 people reside in the growing community of Rochester. Rochester is a city that values diversity, the arts, higher education and their many cultures. The Kahler Grand Hotel is directly across the plaza from the Mayo Clinic. The Kahler Grand Hotel is a premier historic hotel in downtown Rochester. The Kahler Grand carries an 80 year legacy of comfort in each of its 660 rooms & suites, each equipped with modern amenities. The lobby hosts 2 full service restaurants, the city's best martini bar, the Kahler Floral Shop, Peacock Gift Shop & a Starbucks Coffee. There is an indoor pool & hot tub on the top floor, with a glass ceiling and an exquisite view of the city. Hagar & Helga are adjusting to everyone not being able to stay with them in their humble abode. Their huge 2 room estate in the northern part of Minnesota just wouldn't be large enough, and the outdoor 1 hole privy - well, need we say more. So, the Kahler Grand Hotel it will be. We are planning several tour options for you to consider either as a group or individually. Some of these options may include: Wineries; an Amish Country Tour; Assisi Heights; Historic Mayowood Mansion; Soldiers Field Veterans Memorial; National Eagle Center; the Rochester Carillon; & the famous Spam Museum. More about these in future Mentor's articles. The Red Hats of Minnesota & Region VI are planning some fun & gaiety for all our Red Hat friends when you come to Rochester. We are asking you to please include on your registration form that you plan to attend our activities. We wish to have as accurate a count of attendees as possible so we can accommodate everyone who will be attending our party. If you would please write on the front of your registration form letting us know that you are planning to attend the Red Hat party, we would greatly appreciate it. Come with your hats & be ready for some merriment. So for now save the dates of June 21 - 25, 2015, and plan to 'SET SAIL FOR THE LAND OF LAKES, ICE, & MINNESOTA NICE!'. Consider visiting the US JCI Senate web-site or the MN JCI Senate web-site to find a registration form & a flyer detailing the early hospitality hog roast.

Chaplain’s Report, July 15, 2014
Ariel Jones, #65423
“We believe that faith in God give meaning and purpose to human life….”
Every Wednesday there would be an inspirational message to inspire, motivate and comfort from week to
week. The intent was to recognize the religious diversity in our organization and provide spiritual comfort
to include, but not limited to inspiration and meditation poems to words of consolation and self-
reflection. Please visit our Website to view the Wednesday Weekly Word.
http://www.usjcisenate.org/index.php/programs/chaplains-list2
As a reminder, the next message will be on Wednesday, July 16th and throughout the year - every
Wednesday. It is a work in progress with hopes that it will get better each week for our members. If you
have inspirational quotes that you would like to share, feel free to send that will be an addendum to the
Wednesday Weekly Word. As always, I ask – please remember to count your blessings and not your
sorrows.
Amen, Shalom, Salem, Peace be with you
