Membership Open House


This past Wednesday, March 25th, marked the day of the Greenwich Jaycees Membership Open House. The turn out at the event was fantastic! We had so many people that one had trouble wading through the room! It was a great mix of prospective and current members. While it was great to sign up a bunch of new members on the spot we hope others will consider joining as well. A slideshow was shown in the background of photos from events and each present board member gave a brief introduction to the crowd. We were honored to have the Connecticut Jaycees Membership VP (last year's President) and current President (Cathy and Bonnie, respectively) make the trip down from Cheshire and intruduce themselves to the attendees. Thank you to Kona Grill for letting us host the event. Thanks also goes to Gopher Ice Cream for posting a flier on the event and to the Fairfield County Happy Hour Club for mentioning our event in their weekly e-mail.

Ask to be added to our newsletter and e-vite distribution list to hear about upcoming events. You can also find us on Facebook, Meetup, and our web site (http://www.greenwichjaycees.org/).

Monthly March Social Event Recap

This past Friday night, the Greenwich Jaycees held their First Friday Happy Hour at Palomino in Old Greenwich. The Jaycees had their own private room reserved to accommodate their current and prospective members. A selection of delicious appetizers were provided as faces new and old greeted each other. Thank you to Matt S. for helping out with the arrangements. Overall we had a nice crowd of 30 or so join in the fun and help close down the bar! Hope to see you at the next happy hour!

Jaycees On Ice - Ice Skating with kids from Social Services


On the last day of February, the Greenwich Jaycees put on their skates and treated some kids from social services to ice time at the Dorothy Hamill Ice Skating Rink in Greenwich. From first timers to frequent skaters, it was a great time. Some family members even came to cheer on their children from the bleachers! Hot cocoa and food were provided to the kids during their breaks so they could boost their energy and head right back to the ice! Thank you to all of our volunteers, including Anesha, Maritza, Jonathan, Lori, Patty, Albert, Brooke, Sue, Dara, Matt, and Roger. Check out pictures from the event at our photo gallery.
