Relay for Life a Success

The Middletown Relay for Life on June 5 and June 6 raised $202,000 to help fund the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer. Despite chilly temperatures and soggy conditions, many Delaware Jaycees turned out to walk and show their support. Two Delaware Jaycee teams raised more than $2,000.

Project Chairpersons and Committee Members needed

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! 

 

Please contact Abbie Uhler at a_uhler@hotmail.com if you would like more information.

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."
