What goes on In the Jaycees?
|
You can join the Jaycees if you are between the ages of 21-40.
Being part of the Jaycees is a great way to get connected with
your community. Personally, I have just started with the
Jaycees this past September. My first event was a wine-tasting
event that I really enjoyed. The main reason that I wanted to
join was for the community service. However, I have enjoyed a
range of events from meeting new people at SBC in Milford to
playing Bingo at Foxwoods (AND WINNING a $1000 pot....too bad
12 also hit on that same pot huh?).
You can attend any Jaycee events without being a member. Just
show up to any event...if you feel like letting us know you are
coming-you can email me-I would love it!. Check out the Jaycee
Calendar for our next event.
Jaycees are as committed as he or she wants to be. There are
some members that we have one event that they love....and that
is the only one they go to. Some Jaycees, (myself included),
love to show up to as much as they can and help plan (or lead)
huge projects.
Right now is the best time to join the Jaycees! The Milford
Chapter is on the smaller side so you can make the Jaycees into
anything you want. It is very easy to become a lead
(especially for those of you who would love to help but can be
intimited).
The Jaycees stands for Junior Chamber of Commerce. If you do
join it is 55 dollars for the year. But feel free to come to events as a non-member.
Also, whether you or aren't a member you can always bring friends.
The advantage to being a member is that you can lead projects and also
the chapter pays for many of the events.
