Please make every effort to join us on Tuesday night, May 10 to
welcome home the latest Honor Flight travelers. This is an
experience that you will never forget.!!! The flight is scheduled to
arrive at 10:10 PM.
I plan to head over there as soon as the gazebo railing painting
project is completed (after cleaning up of course). Once again,
we'll try to commandeer our prime viewing spot in front of the
United ticket counter. Forward observers (squatters) will get there
around 8:30

Our annual Clothes
for Kids shopping day will be on December 4th. If you are
new to the club this is a great way to volunteer a few hours of
your time and meet more of the Jaycee members. We spend a
few hours shopping with children who are in need of clothes,
shoes, winter wear etc. More details will follow, but
please let me know if you have Saturday December 4th free.
We need a lot of help with this event! Contact Mindy Bockewitz

second annual Rt 4 clean up project this weekend. We were able
to make a big difference by participating last year. Let's meet

Shane will have a dump truck to haul away all the treasures we
find. Wear boots, gloves, and clothing that will make you
visible to motorists. The Chamber will have coffee and donuts
at the gazebo at 10:00.

The Chatham Jaycees were among the many (a thousand maybe)
who greeted the veterans who participated in yesterday's
honor flight. It was an honor for us to greet them, shake
their hands, and thank them personally for their service. By
all accounts, it was a great trip.
We would also like to thank everybody
who came out for the 2010 Sweet Corn festival. The money
raised at this event was used to sponsor 2 local veterans on
this flight. Also 2 Chatham Jaycees went along as Guardians
(escorts). They did this on their own dime by the way. Again
thanks for attending our event, as always the money raised
in July is used all year long on worthwhile projects. We
salute YOU, People of the Corn.

The Chatham Jaycees had some unused sweet corn (a thousand
