Did you know that Chicago will be the host city of the 2011 US Jaycee National Convention? The convention will be held June 7-11th at the Wyndham Hotel in Lisle, IL.

We need a logo that will be used on all convention material as well as the US Jaycee website.

Are you a graphic artist, an artist or someone with creative talent that is interested in designing a logo that all will see? The logo should include the US Jaycee swoosh and also incorporate "Chicago".

It is that time of the year to get the Birdies for Charity project underway. This is a great fundraiser to help the Illinois Jaycees and the local chapters make some money. It is a very easy project to do. Just need to get people to pledge .01 or more, turn in the pledge forms and that is it. The John Deere Charitable Foundation will send out all the billings after the Golf Tournament is over with letting you know how much you owe.

Our goal is to double the chapters that was involved last year. We had 5 chapters that are signed up in 2009.

2010 Relay For Life

The 2010 Relay For Life program is in full swing! Register your team today and start your fundraising efforts!

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

The United States Junior Chamber is a national partner of the Relay for Life program and each chapter is encouraged to participate in their local Relay.
