These are events the Ottawa Jaycees present to the Ottawa Community each and every year. There are many other community activities in which the group participates, and activities 'just for fun' - Family campouts, canoe trips, softball games, adult social events...
Meetings keep the Jaycees organized, and also provide a time for the members of the community to teach Jaycee Members about their private or professional interests. Members learn new information enabling them to connect to and serve their community better, and these meetings help members grow personally in knowledge, as well. |
