From the President Well Naples sent in Chairman's Planning Guides (CPGs) for ten of our projects this semester for book judging on August 29th. Thanks to Lisa Douglass and Gloria Garica for taking our books to Lakeland and for being book judges. Well the biggest event is now upon us... Haunted House.

Jaycee Creed 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 treasures lie in human personality; And that service to humanity is the BEST WORK OF LIFE. C. William Brownfield

Jaycees are Community Spirited young people aged 21-39
