April and
Beyond - Planned Events

Intro to Astronomy Seminar Friday April 11th
8 PM Location: Capewell
Park Rte 108 in Shelton.
Our trainer will be Mark Holden, a Junior Chamber International Senator and a Past President of our chapter (1986). He's a current VP of one of the state's best astronomical clubs. Expect to learn a lot at this event. He's a great trainer and an expert on observational astronomy. Rain/Fog date will be April 18th.

Setback (aka Pitch) Card Game Social Saturday April 19th 7:30 PM Location: Tentatively scheduled for Panera Bread, 850 Bridgeport Ave. in Shelton. There will be both beginner tables and advanced tables. I'm not saying some people take playing cards a little TOO seriously but if you have to ask "am I advanced enough?" you should probably stick to the beginner tables. Location may change if a better place can be agreed upon. For more information or to suggest an alternative location Click Here.
Earth Day Clean Up Saturday May 3rd 8 AM -
2 PM Location: Sunny Side Boat Ramp
Rte 110 in Shelton.
Get Down and Get Dirty with the Shelton
Jaycees! We'll be working again this year with non-profit Clean Sound
Inc. to clean up a half mile plus stretch of the Housatonic
River near Sunny Side Boat Ramp (right
behind Sunny Side Elementary School). We'll provide lunch and we'll have some spare work gloves if you need to borrow a pair. Don't forget to wear waterproof footwear or shoes you wont mind throwing out after the event. A ton of
garbage washes up along this area of shoreline each year. To e-mail Kate for details and directions Click Here.
Mothers Day Flower Sale May 2-4 & 9-11 at Pinerock Firehouse. More details will be available soon. This has become a very successful
annual fundraiser. To contact Jim and volunteer, or to reserve a special plant Click Here. Leadership Training Tuesday May 20th - This event will be chaired by Membership VP Matt. Most of the Leadership Training members receive from their involvement with the Jaycees is through the experience, gained hands-on, from running events or becoming a chapter officer. This seminar will be more direct and focused. The project committee is making arrangements for some top notch guest speakers. More information will be available soon.
