Project Chairpersons
and Committee Members n eeded
Are you ready to take a more active role in the
chapter? Do you want to improve your project management skills?
Then we have the answer for you!
How about taking on a role as project chairperson for
one of our upcoming events? We have many events coming up that we
need volunteers to step up and become more involved! Some of the
events are as simple as providing information to the membership,
while others might involve help from a committee. No matter what
the event, you’re never alone in planning it!
Or, perhaps are you interested in a specific area of
the Jaycees? Maybe it’s becoming more involved in the community, or
helping plan individual development projects, or planning social
events? If so, we have the committee for you! Join the Community
Development committee, Individual Development committee, or
Membership Development committee and get yourself involved!

Jaycees Creed
We Believe . . .
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human
life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty
of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men
through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life."
