We're a 501C-4 non-profit group.

We offer people 21-40 ways to meet people and volunteer.

We develop the leadership skills of individuals by providing specific opportunities over and above what's available to them in their regular lives. We provide opportunities for Community Action, Networking, and Personal & Professional Development.

There's just no better excuse to get together with friends, have fun and make difference.

Greetings!
President Kate Jager
Take a Chance,
Change Your World!
You're invited to the the April membership meeting!

This Tuesday (April 13th) 8 PM at the Greater Valley Chamber offices you can -
  • Order flowers in advance from our Mother's Day Flower Sale.
  • Help plan American Cancer Society Fundraisers.
  • Volunteer to help run our Best Pizza Open House.
  • Be a part of the web site redesign team.
  • Sign up for the April Game Night social.
  • Sign up for State Wide Jaycee events.
  • Get involved with our 2010 Car Shows and more!
If you can dream it, you can do it. You are only limited by your imagination and your willingness to take a chance and change your world.

One of the old members often told this story about the unlimited opportunities available. (I'll do my best to paraphrase.)

"If you joined the Jaycees to meet CEOs and Underwear Models and you're disappointed because you didn't meet any right away, well...... There's no Bylaw that states you couldn't have run a project to honor CEOs. Say a Distinguished Service Awards banquet for inspirational corporate leaders. Egomaniacs LOVE awards banquets!  There's no Bylaw that states you couldn't have put together an Underwear Model Fundraising Calendar. Surely you'd find some willing underwear models excited to have their picture taken for a good cause. Who knows, maybe some of them are also CEOs!"

There are as many reasons to be a part of the Jaycees as there are members. If you have an idea or two and you have ambition, you'll find an opportunity in our club.

Check out the upcoming events below and come on out to the meeting on Tuesday!

Together we're going to do great things,

    Maybe even a CEO Underwear Model calender ;-)

April Membership Meeting This Tuesday the 13th at the Greater Valley Chamber Offices - You're Invited!

Gavel Pic
Tuesday Apr. 13th  8 pm - 9 pm at the Greater Valley Chamber 900 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton. (2nd Floor Wachovia Bank Building between Stop & Shop & Burger King)

In addition to our project reports and planning activities, this month will feature TENT SET-UP RACES.

Being that it's spring and there are a bunch of outdoor events coming up over the summer, we'll be dividing up into groups to see who can set up one of our 10'x10' tents the fastest. Depending on how quick we are we may do an additional contest for setting up a food booth hand washing station and a membership information table.

The best way to get involved in planning events is to come to a monthly membership meeting. It's always the second Tuesday of each month. If you can't make this meeting, we hope we'll see you at the next!

Don't forget to invite a friend. Guests are always welcome.
