Karen K Schoonover #57305

56th President

Ohio JCI Senate

Hello Ohio Senators!

My name is Karen Schoonover #57305 and it’s my honor to serve as the 56th President of this great organization.  The theme  for this year is A.R..R.K.; Acts of Random Kindness.

For the select few who do not know me, I live in the extreme NW corner of Ohio. We are about 30 seconds from Indiana and 20 minutes from Michigan.  Officially, I’m retired, but I have been employed for the last 6 years at Subway of Edgerton.  Mitch and I have been married for 40 years and have 4 daughters, soon to be grandparents of our 13th  grandchild and 3rd  great grandchild.

My goals for this year are:

  • To rebuild our relationship with JCI Ohio by working with them to help their organization grow and helping wherever the chapter needs us to by listening to them and not trying to impose on them “they way we did it”.

  • To have the membership do random acts of kindness to our fellow membership. These can be anywhere from sending an “I’m thinking of you” card, making a telephone call to see how they’re doing, to offering them a ride to one of our meetings.  Together we can build an A.R.K. to hold all those good feelings.

  • To enjoy all the good times we have together. Whenever you come to an event or meeting, leave your worries at the door and enter a room of friends, fellowship and fun! We are continuing with the themed meetings to make them more enjoyable and festive for all.

With your support, we can have a fantastic year!
