I'm John Dahl #42828 and I was born and raised in Watertown, SD. I joined the Jaycees in 1980 and have held all of the local offices in the Watertown Jaycees, and on the state level I have been a District Director and the Public Relations Director.

In the South Dakota JCI Senate I held every office and President twice. In Region VI, I have held several appointments positions over the years. On the National level I have been the US JCI Senate National Chaplain.

My theme for the year is, "Experience Counts, Spread it Around". There is a lot we can do for the Jaycees by mentoring them. We were once in their shoes so please do whatever you can do when they ask for your assistance.
