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.

Best Work Of Live”.
