FRIENDSHIPS:Becoming involved in the Jaycees leads to friendships that will last a lifetime. Members work together developing ideas, planning events and working on projects. Through their interactions, members will develop bonds that strengthen with each and every meeting or project.LEADERSHIP:Jaycees are provided leadership learning opportunities with every meeting and project. Planning and implementing a project leads to individual growth in communication skills, organizational skills and management skills. These skills transfer to careers and personal relationships. Many chapters also bring in outside speakers on a variety of topics to membership meetings. Topics can include planning personal finances, better parenting skills, basic car-care tips or any other subject in which the members are interested.MAKING A DIFFERENCE:For more than 81 years, Jaycees have been making a difference in communities across the United States. Jaycees helped establish commercial aviation in America and raised millions of dollars for causes such as March of Dimes. They built parks, playgrounds, ball fields and shelters for youth and elderly. Jaycees are involved in just about every community festival across the state of Wisconsin. They run signature projects that raise thousands of dollars: Over $100,000 has been donated for Junior Chamber Mission Inn, Red Cross support and the American Diabetes Association. The Wisconsin Jaycees supported donations of over $10,000 for Special Olympics in 2000. The Onalaska Jaycees are limited only by their imagination and motivation!WHO ARE THE JAYCEES?Jaycees are young Men & Women 18-40.WHEN DO THE JAYCEES MEET?The Onalaska Jaycees meet twice monthly, on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at 7:00 p.m. Typical chapter meetings last one hour.
