About The Crew

In 1931 John H. Armbruster wrote in the first Log of the S.S. Fellowship “We can sail this ship together – we can be present in spirit if not in person – this ship ought to have fair weather and the voyage through life should bring many experiences that each of us can share – reminding me of the two lines of an old song:

“Comrades, comrades, ever since we were boys
Sharing each other’s sorrows, sharing each others joys.”

Since that time, there has been many changes in both the size and composition of the Junior Chamber/Jaycees organization and the “Crew of the S.S. Fellowship” has adapted as well but John’s vison has not changed and we continued to keep and maintain those relationships of the National leadership.

Of course, in 1931 there was no internet or web sites or email for us to be able to communicate so this site is the normal evolution of the S.S. Fellowship.
