St. Charles Jaycees Meeting

Some of you have expressed an interest in learning more about the Jaycees. I want to invite you to join me for their next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 12, at 7:00 p.m.  The Jaycees meet at Culpeppers.

If you are looking to get more involved in the community, the Jaycees are a great way to do so.  Their dues are minimal and there is no required commitment. You can be as active as your schedule will allow. <P>

Also, a fair number of the Jaycees have kids, so don't let that stop you. They plan family activities too.<P>
