During the JCI Minnesota Spring All-State Convention this past May, the Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation held our annual Hall of Leadership Luncheon and Fundraising Event.
This year we had a great time with our John Hughes Movie themed event! From some great movie trivia to some fun games, it was a very successful event.
Thanks to the support of those in attendance, the Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation was able to raise $17,609 in donations and pledges.
It is the support of current JCI members, alumni, and guests that helps the Foundation to be able to support JCI MN chapters, individual members, and State Organization.
Thank you all!!
We’ve been having fun making money for chapters and now’s your chance to join us! There are THREE training sessions coming up:
There are a LOT of home games remaining so choose as many as you like. Right now, we are targeting the June 22, 23 and 24th games. Attending one of the June 13 training classes will qualify you to help! (Training is required, and you cannot work until you’ve attended their training.)
Also, once you’re trained and worked a game, you can volunteer at the various concerts coming up! A great way to make money for your chapter!
So complete the SurveyMonkey to sign up for a class and choose the games you want to volunteer at to make money for your chapter (or affiliated organization).
Attention all JCI Minnesota members, alumni, Statesman, Ambassadors, Senators, friends, relatives, and basically anyone 18-years or older with a passion to help JCI Minnesota!
Due to the extreme weather we encountered during April, we need to continue our work with the Minnesota Twins concessions to complete our 10-game commitment. Additionally, we have the opportunity to do even more, including concerts! This is a GREAT way to make money for your organization. So check out the details on our “Twins” page and then sign up using our SurveyMonkey survey!
NEW VOLUNTEERS WELCOME! However, you MUST attend a training, and the only one currently scheduled is on May 8 at Concordia Academy Auditorium, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Complete the survey, check the training session, and I’ll get you added to the class.
It is with great pride that the Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation announces its 2018 Hall of Leadership Honorees.
Our first honoree for 2018 is Kathy Schwantes from Willmar, Minnesota. Kathy was a member of the Willmar Jaycees from 1991 – 2000.
Just highlighting the past few years of her leadership and commitment to the community we take a look at Willmar’s new playground. Also referred to as Willmar’s Destination Playground, the park is located on Robbin’s Island and is vastly filled with activities to help develop children’s learning and motor skills. Kathy was the co-chair involving planning, funding, and organizing volunteers to help build the playground. Playground was totally funded by grants and donations and was built ahead of schedule!
In 2017 Kathy’s involvement in the community and leadership skills resulted in her being elected to Willmar’s City Council. We are just beginning to see how she is helping our city even more then she has already done.
Congratulations, Kathy!
Our second honoree for 2018 is Martin “Toon” Bauman from Montrose, Minnesota. Martin joined as a member of the Delano Jaycees in 1990 and remains active today as the Minnesota JCI Senate President.
Martin attributes his continued community directly to the Jaycees. Going to his first convention less than 12 months into his membership and not missing a single one since. That is 81 straight conventions. Martin has been very active in the Delano 4th of July Celebration for the past 19 years and has been a major contributor to its success over those years. From helping the Delano Jaycees be active in the event to helping build the float for the Delano Royalty.
Martin says that the biggest impacts the Jaycees have made on him are, “The lasting friendships, whether they are from within the state, around the US, or from other countries in the world. And taking the time to volunteer in your community and expecting nothing in return.”
Congratulations, “Toon”!
Our Hall of Leadership Honorees will be honored during the Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation Hall of Leadership Luncheon on May 19th, 2018. The luncheon will be held at the Best Western Plus in Willmar, MN starting at 11:30am. The event is in coordination with JCI Minnesota’s Spring All-Sate Convention.
Congratulations again to the 2018 Honorees!!
