February Monthly Membership Meeting

Last night, the Greenwich Jaycees held its monthly Membership Meeting for February. The meeting was held at the Trump Parc Sales Center in downtown Stamford. The guest speaker was Hope Stanger. Hope is the owner of The Holistic Empire specializing in coaching people to move away from an acid-base diet through the use of raw foods. Hope explained the harmful effects of acid-based foods versus the benefits of eating holistic foods. She also demonstrated making a shake with holistic ingredients and then treated everyone to the delicious result!

Followed by the guest speaker the formal meeting was held where highlights include the following:
1. Supper Club every month (starting this Sunday, Feb. 22nd at Bennett's Steak & Fish in Stamford)
2. Announcement of upcoming community events (stayed tuned for the E-vite for each or check out the calendar on our web site). Next event is Ice Skating with kids from Social Services at Dorothy Hamill Ice Skating Rink in Greenwich on Saturday, Feb. 28.
3. Announcement of Membership Open House next month at Kona Grill in Stamford (Wednesday, March 25th)
4. Greenwich Jaycees is now available on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Groups

After the meeting half the crowd wandered over to Houlihan's for some eating and drinking before calling it a night.

February Soup Kitchen

The Greenwich Jaycees participated in helping purchase, prepare, and serve food to over 100 people at the New Covenant House of Hospitality in Stamford, CT today. The food was picked up and delivered by Maria beforehand and kitchen volunteers included Erica, Ed, Heather, Jill, and Roger. The Jaycees dished out lasagna, scooped soup, tossed salad, buttered rolls, sliced cakes, and poured drinks! The people who come to be served at the soup kitchen are always grateful for us volunteering and this is definitely a "feel good" event. Thank you to all of our volunteers for participating at this enriching event.

February Social Happy Hour Event

Friday, February 6th, was our second happy hour of the year. The social gathering was held at The Ginger Man in SoNo. We had a nice spot reserved for us in the back with two tables. Appetizers included yummy pizza and fried calamari! The Double Chocolate Stout on draft was also a big hit! Attendees included board members Albert, Maria, Jay, and Roger, members Ed and Zack, and prospective/former members Megan, Christian, Jen, and Brian. A few of us moseyed over to The Loft afterwards. A good time was had by all and we hope to see everyone at our next happy hour!
