JCI Brantford Senators Unite
Two of JCI Brantford's current Senators (Syd Bolton, Paul Oddi) share a moment with two former members who are also senators - Bill Jones and David Boyle. Jones and Boyle attended the January 10th dinner meeting where awards were handed out to the Santa Claus Parade winners. Everyone remembered their number, so no forced drinks were purchased.

JCI Brantford Member becomes CLT
In order to qualify, a member must attend JCI Prime (soon to be replaced with JCI Presenter & JCI Trainer) and conduct a minimum of 25 hours of JCI specific training.
Bolton has been working on this since 2002. "It was a lot harder than I expected to get 25 hours of JCI training. I found it easier to do training outside of the organization, but it really helps motivate you to help out your fellow members" he commented. "I'm happy to receive this designation and will now work on getting my CNT (Certified National Trainer) status."
