~The Jaycee philosophy

Why Jaycees Today?

Haye you ever thought
what the future will be for

your family, the com.-,

munity, and the nation if
conditions relating to crime
pollution, health, safety, an
many more remain? We
need leaders, and Jaycees
can help provide them. The
responsibility and challenge
is yours - “to lead, or to
follow’. Will you remain
part of the problem, or will
you contribute to the
solution?

What do Jaycees Offer?

First, ask yourself what -

you want from life. Do you
want to seek success? Do
you want an active role in
the civic life of your com-
munity, to meet and work
with new acquaintances,
interesting people and to
enlarge your social contact
with others of a similar age,
economic position, and
interests? If so, time spent
in Jaycees could be a wise
investment indeed.

There are Three Main
Reasons Young People Join
Jayeees

1, The desire for self
improvement. To learn to
accept responsibility, to
make decisions, become
effective speakers, develop
management techniques, to
be better employers. em-
ployees, and a better per-
son. There are successful
leaders and businessmen
across Canada who at-
tribute their achievements
to the start they were given
in Jaycees, We didn’t do it
for them, but gave them the
opportunity to do it them-
selves. Isn’t that what you
want?

2. The desire for community
involvement. To have a
hand in identifying com-

munity illsand planning and |

executing action projects to
help.

3, The desire for fellowship.

To meet and associate with
progressive young peopie of
the same age and bracket
with similar interests and
objectives, The’ friendships
are not confined to your
home town - we're a national
and international
organization. :

Jaycee Programs

Jaycees are involved in
scores of projects in every
community we’re in across
Canada. Local units have
access to superb leadershi
development material,
public relations programs
designed to help cut com-
munity problems, com-
munity action material, and
more. There are almost a
hundred different
publications available.
Besides, Jaycee units
operate scores of projects on

eir own - devised and
carried out by local
Jaycees,

We'd like you to attend a‘
meeting so we can teil you
about some of the projects
and activities we’re in-
volved in.

isn’t the Jaycees some sort
of businessmen's club?

Definitely not! Our
members come from all
walks of life. It-is this
blending of skills, talents,
and knowledge that gives us
the foundation to tackle
many difficult problems...
and usually solve them. The
one thing our members do’
have in common is they are
all young and know the
direction they want to head.

Who can join Jaycees and
what does it cost?

Any young person 18 to 39

can join. There are no
economic, religious,
geographic, or race

restrictions, for members of
Jaycees. Dues are set by
the Jaycee unit you join, but
you can expect something in
the area of $25 to $50 per
year. We'll explain the
exact cost at our meeting.

Jaycees are young and want
the best value for their
dollar, We do our best to
make sure that’s exactly
what you get.

But what if I’m interested in
something Jaycees aren't
doing?

Then propose a project!
Think you'll have trouble
doing that? Well, first of all
we can'teach you how to
organize the project, plan it, .
and make your presentation
to the Unit. Jaycees are
always looking for new
areas to getinvolvedin. The
more areas we can do
successfully, the more in-
teresting Jaycee mem-
bership can be.

Doesn't all this take a lot of
dime?
