When the DuBois Jaycees were throwing out different ideas for their annual, Jaycees New Member Night, a plethora of options were given out. While many ideas were good, one really stuck out to the Chapter. Current Jaycee and VP of Individual Development, Jamie Hoffer, mentioned doing a paint and pizza event right before our Chapter meeting. As something that wasn't done before, it was an idea that many members really liked and wanted to pursue. "I was trying to think of someth

The DuBois Jaycees are now offering different ways to pay for their yearly membership dues, donations and events in 2019. Aside from cash and check, current and new members can pay for their dues via the Venmo or PayPal apps. The idea was brought up at the last Jaycees meeting to have online payment options for members. Venmo, which has become a popular payment method over the last year, was brought up and unanimously agreed upon to use as an option going forward. The DuBois

Unfortunately, there won't be DeLoreans, Michael J. Fox or Doc Brown in this blog post. However, there will be some nostalgia for those who were former members of the DuBois Chapter. Recently, a former DuBois Jaycee reached out to current DuBois Jaycees President, Randi Johnson, to share memorabilia from the 50th Anniversary Jaycee event that took place in 1970 in St.Louis. Lloyd Westover, who currently resides in Chicago, spoke with Johnson about his time as a DuBois Jaycee

The DuBois Jaycees have been busy this winter season by reigning in the holiday cheer throughout their local Community. Our chapter has participated in three events that have always meant so much to our membership. The first event was delivering Thanksgiving turkeys to 30 families in the DuBois and its surrounding areas on Thanksgiving morning. Martin's of DuBois provided the pre-made meals, while Jaycee members and their families hand delivered them to each one of the famili

There is no way to adequately express the immense sense of loss that we all feel having seen the closing of the DuBois Business College. Its presence meant so much not only to the students that attended the college, but also to the entirety of the DuBois community. It is not an exaggeration to say that our workforce is stronger because of their influence and vocational programs. The great impact that the DuBois Business College has left on our area is irreplaceable and will

It was a beautiful day in PA for the annual DuBois Jaycees Golf Scramble, which took place on Saturday, August 20th at the Kenterra Golf course. A total of 36 golfers participated in the nine-hole event. Three teams were named as first, second and third place winners. Skill prizes were also awarded for longest drive, longest putt and closest second shot. Nine under was the winning score carded in for the day. Seven under came in second, followed closely by five under which to

The DuBois Jaycees are always striving to live up to the legacy that was created before them. When I joined the Jaycees in 2010, I had the pleasure of meeting some great members who set the bar high for continuing on the past traditions and fundraisers of the Jaycees. Over the last six years since I've joined, the DuBois Jaycees have continued their success by adding more valuable young professionals that have kept this Chapter strong. On August 6th, the DuBois Jaycees had th

DuBOIS — The railings on the wooden bridge located over McCracken Road on the paved side of the Beaver Meadow Walkway in DuBois were rotting away. The floor was soft and spongy and could possibly break with too much weight. But all that changed this weekend when DuBois Area Jaycee volunteers replaced the floor, railing and painted the wooden bridge on the heavily used DuBois Walkway, with help from the City of DuBois. “The main thing is that we want to give something back to
