This ‘is Jaycee Week in Canada — a week the Jaycees would like you to gei to know them better. daycees have been called “Young Men in ‘Action”’ .... and it’s lrue. In 299 com- munities across this great land, thousands of Jaycees are working to make their town a better place to live and developing themselves at the same time.

September 15 lo 22 is Jaycee Week in Canada. In Terrace, His Worship the Mayor, Gord Rowland has proclaimed thal civic support for Jaycee Week is to observed from Sep- tember 15 to 22, 1976 and that all citizens lend their interest, support and cooperation in making this abservanee successful in every way.

WHAT 15 A JAYCEE?

What distinguishes one person from another? What distinguishes a daycer member from any other person in his communily; the Jayeee movement from all the uther organizations in our community? These are questions that have been asked many times. The following is a brief ex- planalion,

The Jayeces are NOT a service, social or fraternal organization. They do nat propose to help those who are not first willing Lo help themselves; although they will gladly be of service to all or any who have shown ihemselyes and-or their ideas to us and ask for their support. They are a group of ACTIVE YOUNG MEN, knowing no ‘racial creed, whe are, in the community truly “YOUNG MEN OF ACTION”.

Membership to the Terrace and District Jaycees is open to all young men who want it and seek it belween the ages of 18 to 39. Membership offers: Leadership Training, Self Development, Community Service and Fellowship.

The benefits of Jaycees are given freely but are costly to the membership because those benefits are only realized through active

~-participation and hard

ae

work. The member must be

willing to give mote than he receives, Self betterment comes from the leadership training which he will receive in planning and carrying out community

_and unit projects; the

fellowship is in the par- licipation of many projects with others in the unit who have the same desires and interests.

Jaycees offer a young man the chance to prepare for his future. A Jaycee is an active young man. The Terrace and District Jaycees are a group of active young men banded logether to help each olher, their . community and themselves. They are Jaycees today and leaders tomorrow. ‘

THE HOLE OF THE MAYCEE UNIT IN A COMMUNITY

The Jayece organization is specifically designed to meet young people's needs. No community can be said ta be “over organized’ or even“adequately organized” when no provision is made for the individual training of ils young peaple and for the utilization of their abilities.

Most other organizations deal with people of all ages and have no specific program for: training in- dividuals. The Jaycees represent the young men of the community who needs individual ‘training in civic consciousness and business administration. The Jaycee unit is a ‘Training Ground for Young Men”.

Trained young men have a right {to undertake Leadership responsibility without being forced to wait until their prestige, long residence and mature wisdom have brought them “to the top’ in - general organizations and com- munity affairs. (This conviction caused the for- mation of the first Jaycee Unit.) :

-Young men of the com- munity are not achieving their full opportunity and the community is not achieving its maximum civic service from young

men unless there -is..an:-. organization — By, For-and: About Young Men .: a

BLUE CHIP PROGRAM

Each year the Jaycees of Canada have as one of their challenges to meet in the Blue Chip Program. The Blue Chip Program is a standard of unit operations. It provides a guide. in planning and compleling a successful year of operation . by mapping out a systematic approach, step by slep, of what a unit should: be planning and

out the year.

The Blue Chip is divided *- into three basic parts: -

A) Unit Management

B) Leadership Training

C) Enrolment and growth

When a Jaycee unit meets the challenges of Blue Chip as set down by the Canada Jaycees, that unit receives Blue Chip for that year. The Terrace Jaycees have met. this challenge six con- secutive years. The_ only. other unit in Canadian Jayceehistory to do so is the Hamilton Jaycees who also did so this year. .

Following is a list of Jaycee Presidents whe have obtained Blue Chips on behalf of the Terrace unit: 1975 — John Taylor. 1974 — Derek Shadlock 1973 — Richard Gulash ° 1972 — Tom Chesterman 1971 — Doug Misfeldt 1970 — Wayne Braid
