BOYS AND GIRLS HOME OF NORTH CAROLINA

At a recent Jaycee reunion in Asheboro,  it was discussed by several that we should check into the status of the Jaycee support for Boys and Girls Home at Lake Waccamaw.   On July 6, a group of former jaycees visited the Boys Home to find out first hand.  They found that the Jaycee support from the North Carolina Jaycees had dwindled down to only support from a few chapters in the Raleigh area with the Raleigh Jaycees being responsible for over 80% of that support.  The total was just over $ 25,000.00 annually.  It takes approximately $190,000.00 annually to operate the Jaycee Cottage.

Ideas were discussed and we felt that a way to respond was to put out a plea to past Jaycees, JCI Senators and Jaycee friends.  It was felt that we should be able to find 1000 persons who would be willing to give $50.00 a year.  These monies would be sent directly to Boys and girls Home and directed to a Jaycee Fund.

Also, we need to have more interaction with the girls that now live in the Jaycee cottage.  Several ideas are being discussed and please let us know any suggestions you may have.

Additionally, the Raleigh Jaycees are hosting a picnic at Boys and Girls Home on August 21, 2010, and would like any of us that will to attend (Details will follow in a few days).

Please don’t just send your $50.00, but contact Past Jaycees you know and other friends and ask them to join our 1000/50 club.
