THE JAYCEE STORY
BY DAN CASEY, President,
Forest Park Junior Chamber of Commerce
“WE BELIEVE:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.”
In February of 1954, a group of 50 young men of Forest Park, whole-heartedly sub
scribing to the tenets expressed in the Jaycee creed, banded themselves together into
what has become one of the largest and most active civic organizations in our city. With a
membership now in excess of 100, this club, since its inception, has continuously striven
to fulfill these noble aspirations.
For the past three years, through their annual “Empty Stocking Fund” campaign,
the Jaycees have provided a good Christmas for over 100 children of Forest Park and
Clayton County. Each year the Jaycees sponsor a local “Teen - Age Road - eo” for the
younger drivers of our city to further interest in driver education, and carry on safety pro
grams among first and second-graders in our local schools. Through funds derived from
operation of the Municipal Pool, the Jaycees purchased an electric scoreboard for the foot
ball field, and have assisted in development of the city parks. They also have an extensive
awards program among students and athletes of our high school.
' While subscribing to no partisan political creed, the Forest Park Jaycees nevertheless
are vitally interested in good government, and encourage their members to be active in
local civic and government affairs. At the beginning of this Jaycee year the local organi
zation had among its most active members a state senator, a state representative, a coun
ty commissioner, the county treasurer, the mayor and all seven members of the city coun
cil.
A member of the Georgia and United States Jaycees, the local organization has re
ceived recognition in both. For the past two years the Forest Park Jaycees have received
first-place award in the field of Christmas activities in state scrapbook competition. The
local club now boasts three state championships, and one member has served the U. S.
Jaycees on the national awards committee.
Known as “Jaycettes,” wives of the Jaycees have their own organization, the prime
purpose of which is to assist the Jaycees in all phases of their activity. Because of their
dedication in this effort, for the past two years the Forest Park Jaycettes have been
named the “Outstanding Club” in Georgia, the highest award given by the state organiza
tion.
Jaycee meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at the For
est Park Youth Center, the first meeting of each month being confined to business, with
light refreshment; and the second being a dinner meeting with a program. “Ladies’
Night” dinner-dances are held an average of five times a year, as well as an annual fam
ily picnic-swimming party.
Young men of Forest Park between the ages of 21 and 36 who believe in the tenets
of the Jaycee Creed as given above; who wou Id like to have a part in the activities of such
an organization; who desire to serve their community and develop their own leadership
abilities; and who desire to make a host of friends among people of their own age, are
asked to contact any officer or member of the Forest Park Jaycees for any information
desired.
