VOLUME LIX
A TWO-YEAR REPORT ON
THE PROGRESS OF THE DADE
COUNTY JUNIOR CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
After receiving ' their charter
in April 1957, the Javcees have
contributed much toward the
people of Dade County. A part¬
ial list includes the placing of
‘ No Dumping” signs throughout
the county; a clean-up cam-
pa i g n; erecting a historic
piacque on the courthouse
lawn; and painting the Dade
High School athletic dressing
rooms.
The Jaycees have helped sup¬
port the Cancer Society, the
Dade High School Yearbook,
and the Helping Hand Fund.
They worked with the Lions
Club to ’ distribute food baskets
for the needy at Christmas. The
Jaycees paid half of the $700.00
spent lor instruments for the
newly formed Dade High School
Band; they donated $200. to
help pay olf the indebtedness of
tne Dade County Atheltic Associ
ation; they gave $50. to help pay
the Coach of Dade High for his
summer athletic program; and,
just recently, they presented
uniforms costing $.130: to the
Dado High school Baseball
ham.
1 o accomplish the raised above pro¬
jects, tho Jaycees money
iiofii a Fiddlers Convention, a
tar wa.h, the sale of State of
Dado - tags, two raffles, a booth
at me fair, and a Ham Shoot.
Presently, they are selling
prooms to raise money.
The Jaycee club is self-support
ang from its dues. No money
raised is spent for the club. B5 f /o
of all profit from fund raising
is spent by the club as worth¬
while donations. The remaining
15% is placed in a fund to event
ually build a home for the club,
■to be used also by the Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc
Through this report, the Jay-
cees hope to show what the club
is and what they do toward,
civic improvement, so that in.
.return they might better them¬
selves. Also, they hope to re¬
cruit new members, &q that they
might enlarge the scope of their
activities. The Jaycees are the
young men of the county who
will be its leaders tomorrow.
All qualified persons interest¬
ed in Jayceeism are urged to
contact a member and come to
tone or two meetings. At each
meeting there is an orientation
period for new and prospective-
members to acquaint them with
Jayceeism. The Jayc.ee club is a
working organization,, and can
do no more than its members
are willing to do. The more
members the club has the more
lit can accomplish:
What are the Jaycees? Young
men age 21 through 35. A group
dedicated to community im¬
provements and perspnal better
ment. The fastest growing
young men’s organization in the
world A stimulus -to community
projects. International in scope
—in over 60 countries. Recogni¬
zed by government and business
leaders at every level as an or¬
ganization which developes
community leaders, through con
structive action.
What the Jaycees are not. A
Chamber of commerce (al¬
though they often yvork toget¬
her). A political organization.
Restricted on types of projects,
nor required to conduct speci¬
fic ones. Eat, meet, and go. home
club A Business men’s club, a
fraternal club, or organized for
any selfish motive.
The Jaycee Creed; “We beli¬
eve: That faith in God igives
meaning and purpose to human
life; that brotherhood of man
transcends the sovereignty of
nations; SW that economic justice
an ~~ ----- free men through
ree enterprise; that govern-
