Engaged Membership Equals Community Involvement
We need to ask ourselves, why did we become a Jaycee?
When talking to fellow Jaycees I hear many of the same responses including:
meeting new people
sharpening business skills
and an opportunity to make a contribution in the community. Community involvement is the most cited reason members give for wanting to become a Jaycee. There are many community issues in need of support and the good news is we can make a difference. Like any project, tackling community issues is going to take work and dedication from the membership but the emotional reward is far greater than any tangible reward.
I encourage everyone to become more involved in the Kankakee Area Jaycees especially those of you who have not worked on any projects lately.
There are many ways to become more involved in your chapter with the first step being attending membership meetings regularly.
There are many opportunities to contribute to the success of chapter projects and more importantly make an impact on your community.
Members can take a larger role in projects by being part of project committees. The committees have the vision for a project and are responsible for implementing that vision.
If committees are already in place, don’t forget to volunteer during the event. There is always a need for volunteers on the day of an event to ensure that the project is executed smoothly.
The Kankakee Area Jaycees can make a greater impact on the community with initiative and membership involvement.

September Recognition
Officer of the month
Christina Norvell:
Christina has stepped up to
make an impact for the K3
Jaycees by filling in the
position of Community VP
after Andrew Ollis left us to
pursue other opportunities.
She has done a great job and
does her job with great
enthusiasm and excitement,
which is the K3 Jaycee way!
Way to go Christina, keep up
the great work!
Jaycee of the Month
Frankie Miotti:
Frankie stepped up to help
out with the cemetery walk
and when asked to quickly
find someone to fill in just a
couple hours before we were
due there she came through
in a big way for us and
brought a friend to help!
Thanks Frankie! That same
day she came to our M-Night
at Hidden Cove and brought
several of her closest friends
to come and hang out with us
for the evening! Thanks so
much for you enthusiasm
Frankie, keep up the great
work!
ID Yourself: JCI IMPACT
Fellow Jaycees! I attended a great training at this September’s GA, JCI
IMPACT. I would love to share what I learned with you and what great
accomplishments we can achieve here in Kankakee! This September’s
general meeting I will be presenting information to you about how we can
make positive changes in our community that SOLVE urgent problems in
our community. Please attend and become part of the SOLUTION!
Anne Fraher
ID VP
Want to get involved, but not sure what to do?!
Let us know and we can work with you to create a project or
help you join a project committee for some of our upcoming
events. Two ideas I thought would be great to do this fall are
Get out the Vote and Troop packages. The Jaycees founded
the Get out the Vote program and with November Elections
coming up, we could really make an IMPACT by aiding young
people with voter registration and letting them know about
the Jaycees along the way. Also, I have always wanted to
give back to those that do so much for us, the troops! I
would love to start a collection for Troop baskets that we can
send to our troops to show our appreciation. Email me at
[email protected] if any of these ideas interest you or if
you would like help creating your own event. I’d love to help
guide you through the process!

A Composition about Competitions
On September 7th, 2012, I competed in two competitions at the Illinois General Assembly: Write Up, and Jaycee
Jeopardy. I was a little nervous, I did not prepare at all for either competition. However, once I got into the
room I noticed it was just other Jaycees just like me. There was no need to dress up, there were no judges. It
was time to sign in and start my first competition, Write Up.
I knew I had only 30 minutes to write, so I numbered my pages, wrote my assigned number on my pages and
waited for the topic: If you could go back to any time period, what would it be and why? I quickly thought
about what time period I knew a sufficient amount of information about and one that I could tie in the Jaycees.
I got it, the 1920s! I chose my three reasons for visiting the Roaring Twenties: the birth of the US Jaycees,
prohibition, and women’s suffrage. The only trip ups I had were writing in pen, and skipping a line each
sentence. I like to just write and make changes along the way. I understand the reasoning behind the protocol
though, neatness is important. I finished with two minutes to spare, so I reread my paper and added any
additional corrections.
As I finished, I decided to attempt Jaycee Jeopardy, too.
Jaycee Jeopardy was a no-sweat competition. I wanted to try Jaycee Jeopardy at a GA, and since it was
basically just a written test this time around, I was all for it. Twenty questions, you either know them or you
don’t. I knew a couple, and guessed on the rest. Some questions, I felt like “I should know that!!!” Next time, I
will definitely prepare, and if anyone is looking for a low key competition, try Jaycee Jeopardy!
On Sunday, we got our results. I was nervous to even look at them. I glanced at them and waited to hear the
winner. To my surprise, I won! I was so honored to have won the Illinois Jaycee Write Up! Hopefully I can
attend the Year End GA to compete again; it was fun and very rewarding!

MEMBERSHIP
Hey there Jaycees!
First of all I want to thank everyone who came out to our recent M-Night at Hidden Cove. It was such a great time!
Thanks to chairman, one of our newest members, Lucas Smith for hosting! Great job Lucas! Also a big thank you goes to
Heather Winemiller for being our special guest.
As of right now we have 62 members. We did drop a little from last month because there were so many to renew, but
that’s quite alright! We can make September a great month. All you have to do is ask - a neighbor, friend, co-worker.
The worst they can say is no. I know we can make growth this month! And don't forget to tell all of your bachelor friends
to come out on Sept 15 and 22 to audition for our bachelor auction as well!!

Full Steam Ahead!!
Well another General Assembly has come and gone and I am once again humbled and proud to be a
Kankakee Area Jaycee! I have to admit as President I get a lot more nervous at the awards ceremonies
only because I want the people in our chapter who work so hard to make it the great chapter that it is to
be awarded for all that they do! The awards that we receive are merely reflections of a chapter who cares
about our community but also works hard to make a difference, and for that I thank each and every one
of you!
For those of you who are unaware of what the General Assembly is I will give a brief overview of the
weekend. On Friday night all the Illinois Jaycees arrive at the designated location, this time it was Fairview
Heights, IL. We then split up into our regions for a meeting to go over what has been taking place in our
regions and what is coming up in the next trimester. Here is a little peek into our meeting this time around
although it looks like it is all fun and games we do normally accomplish quite a bit! Then it’s onto the
mixer where you get to meet and socialize with several other Illinois Jaycees. After the mixer many people
stay up to socialize and others decide to go on a trip to dreamland so they can be bright eyed and
bushytailed for Saturday’s training sessions or competitions.

Saturday is filled with different trainings to attend and competitions to participate in. This time around
one of the favorite trainings was attended by Anne Fraher the JCI Impact Training. Anne also competed in
the write up competition and won on Friday night! I was able to compete in the master speak up
competition and I too was honored to win. The Saturday lunch and dinner are always accompanied by
awards being given to various chapters and individuals for going above and beyond the expectation. It is
really neat to hear what other chapters are doing and to hear what amazing individuals there are in the
Illinois Jaycee family! The GA is really something that once you attend you really understand what the
Jaycee organization is all about! I would like to encourage everyone to take the opportunity to attend a
General Assembly, it is something that will definitely help you, and just like anything with the Jaycees, you
will get out of it what you put into it! Take advantage of opportunities to help you grow individually and
personally, trust me, you will not regret it!
I would like to recognize and congratulate all of the K3 Second Trimester Award Winners:

The Jaycees along with the AshleyCan Foundation will be teaming up to present the first annual "The Running
Dead" Zombie 5k. This spooktacular event will be held on October 21st at 5 P.M. at the PNC River Road Softball
Complex, just down the road past KCC. A terrifyingly good time, "The Running Dead" will feature hosts of
zombies chasing humans down a path surrounded by trees and the Kankakee River, while dusk draws near. The
magical part is that you get to choose which character you would like to be. Either come to the 5k as yourself, or
dress up like a zombie. The Humans will get a 1-minute head start and 3 name-tags (lives), that they will stick to
their back. After 1-minute, the zombies will then be released to chase the humans. If a zombie catches up to a
human, it can then rip off the human's name-tag, and take one of their lives. The zombie can only take 1 name-
tag per person. If all 3 of your human lives have been taken, you can finish the race, but your time will not be
recorded. Awards go to best time for humans (male and female), most name tags gathered by a zombie, and
best dressed zombie.
Please join us in this unique and fun event, while also contributing to a great cause. The entry fee will be $25,
and half of the proceeds will be going to the AshleyCan Foundation, which is a local foundation that raises
awareness for pediatric cancer. (www.ashleycan.org). This event has the potential to be a staple here in
Kankakee, and only has the potential to grow throughout the years. If you would like to offer your help and be
part of "The Running Dead" committee or have any questions, please e-mail me at
[email protected]. Hope to see you, dead or alive, at "The Running Dead" Zombie 5K!

GiGi’s Playhouse opens on Saturday, September 15 in Bradley. This is a great resource
for Down Syndrome awareness. Our own Stephanie Wilson is opening the playhouse. In an
effort to help this great program be successful in our community, the Jaycees are hosting a
1920s Speakeasy Bachelor Auction on Friday, November 2 at the Majestic Theatre. The
concept is that eligible bachelors in our community will be auctioned off for a date. The
winning bidder will spin a wheel that also reveals what the date package will be. There will
also be prizes and date packages on silent auction for couples.
We already have a great number of bachelors who will be participating, including several
young leaders in our community and several members of the Kankakee County Soldiers
basketball team. If you know of a bachelor who would like to participate and help raise
funds for the cause, we will be having auditions on Saturday, September 15 and Saturday
September 22 at Impact Fitness in the back room.
We will be securing date packages through sponsorships in the community. If you know
of someone or a company that would be interested in sponsoring our event or providing a
date package, let me know!
This event is a Speakeasy theme, so come wearing your suit or flapper dress!
Because the venue can only hold 250 people, we will be limited in the number of tickets that
can be sold. We will need Jaycee volunteers, but we will have to limit the number so that we
can sell as many tickets to the event as possible. As we get closer to the date, I will be
looking for volunteers to work the event, including set up, tear down, and general tasks
during the show. If you are not a volunteer who signed up in advance, but would still like to
purchase a ticket to the event, Jaycees will receive a discounted ticket price.
This is going to be a great community event and an opportunity to help GiGi’s provide a
great service to the Down Syndrome community. The town is excited! Let’s make this a
wonderful time and support a great cause!
If you have not received a facebook event invite from me, let me know. Please pass it on to
any bachelorettes you might know!
Thank you!

Sleepy Hollow
Parking
Last October we were
busy, busy, busy with
working on the Haunted
Trail. For some of us, even
though we put in a lot of
blood, sweat, and tears, it
was all worth it in the
end. We made a lot of
new friendships that I
didn’t know was possible.
Although we aren’t doing
a Haunted Trail this year,
we do have the
opportunity to bond
again at the very place
that laid the groundwork
for such close
relationships. We will be
assisting the Bourbonnais
Township Park District by
parking cars for Sleepy
Hollow.
We are needed on the
dates of October 12, 13,
19, and 20. The rain date
is October 21. We will be
needed from 5-11pm. We
need at least 6 people per
shift per night. If you are
interested in helping out,
please contact me with
your availability at

Jaycee Spotlight
Name: Lucas G. Smith Occupation/affiliations: Management Trainee at Enterprise Rent-A-Car Bookseller at Barnes and Noble Hobbies: My hobbies consist of joining local sport leagues, reading an hour a day, working out, listening to music, watching movies, camping and hiking, travelling, and driving around town with the windows rolled down blasting some James Brown. What would be (or is) your dream project? I haven't really given this much thought, but I am extremely pumped about the upcoming Zombie 5K. Maybe I'm living my dream project right now and don't even know it. What is something you gained from joining the Jaycees?
Genuine relationships. I have been able to meet and get to know peers from
around the area that have their priorities straight with great intentions. People
that not only care about the community locally and nationally, but care about the
well-being of not only themselves, but of their fellow Jaycees as well. Those kinds
of relationships are genuine and rare.
What do you consider to be your best accomplishment (within or outside the
Jaycees)?
I'm too new to really boast about any accomplishments inside of Jaycees, but am
excited to be an active and helpful member throughout. Outside of the Jaycees,
becoming the Entertainment Manager of the Peoria Chiefs in 2010, after growing
within that career for many years was a worthwhile accomplishment.
What does being a Jaycee mean to you?
To me, being a Jaycee means being an outstanding citizen while working along
with and learning from quality peers. As we all grow throughout our careers and
lives, it is nice to know that there is a large group of caring, interesting, and fun
peers that will be by your side to assist and guide you. I am looking forward to
also be that kind of contribution to the Jaycees.
Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself?
I love a good dance party.

Letter from the Editor
I will be the first person to admit that I despise writing. Always have, and I don’t foresee that changing any time
soon. Writing newsletter articles have always been a challenge for me. I usually stick to informative ones, the
who-what-when-where-why variety, for events coming up. If I happen to write something that doesn’t follow
that pattern, it is usually very brief. (Sad fact, I have already stopped writing this article twice now.) When it
comes time to have an article in, I procrastinate. I usually have ideas of what I want to write about and then I
read other’s articles and think….there goes that idea. Lately there seems to be a theme, why did you become a
Jaycee? Below, I will answer that question and instead of repeating the question to you, I ask you this - What
inspires you? Where does your passion lie?
In the beginning, I joined the Jaycees because I wanted to give back to my community but I just didn’t know
how. I wasn’t the type of person to really venture out on my own. I had a lot of friends who were in the Jaycees
and had actually asked me to join in the beginning. For various reasons, I did not join at that time. I attended
my first meeting in April of 2011. It was at a local restaurant and to my relief when I walked in I saw a few
familiar faces. I remember that by the end of the meeting, I went through a myriad of feelings….awe, confusion,
unsure, a bit overwhelmed, but in the end what stood out the most was the feeling that I was home, I had
found a group of kindred spirits and I didn’t know most of them! I joined the organization at the end of that
meeting and even signed up to help out at my first project! By the end of my first 6 months I had come out of
my shell a bit and ended up accepting the position of co-chair on our chapter’s biggest project, the Haunted
Trail. Keep in mind I had never even been to a haunted house before. I also took on the position of Elections
Chair, because the thought of running for a position on the board had never even crossed my mind. I broke out
of the norm of my life and chose the path less traveled (to me anyway).
Fast forward to today, I have helped out on a variety of projects, from being a little worker bee to the
chairperson. I took on the board position of Secretary and co-editor of the newsletter. I also plan on furthering
my Jaycee career and running for another board position in the coming months. It’s hard to choose just one
thing that has kept me in the organization past that initial joining. Some of the things that have become the
most important to me are the people I have met and the relationships we have formed, the memories that
have been made, the people we have helped, the people we have inspired to help others, but most of all the
person I have become (and continue to become) because of the Jaycees.
The Jaycees have pushed me out of my comfort zone. One way they have done this is by providing me with the
chance to compete in competitions at the GA. Public speaking – definitely not a fan! But I took the leap and did
it. I was nowhere near perfect, but that is the point. While competing helped me jump over that hurdle of
speaking in public, I also learned ways to help improve myself. Another way the Jaycees have pushed me is
through the Passport to Leadership program. Again, to complete the various degrees, I have had to do things I
would not normally choose to. They have also made me pursue things I never thought I would. The Jaycees
continue to shape me on a daily basis.

Kankakee Area Jaycees P.O. Box 2418 Kankakee, IL 60901
As I went through my emails deleting the hundreds of them that I reserve in my inbox for no apparent reason, I
came across the emails that were exchanged as we planned the Haunted Trail last year. While last fall for me was a
very trying and stressful time, it was concluded by the culmination of our largest Jaycees project to date. As stressful
as it was, in the end, it was worth it. The days and evenings we spent together as a group changed forever the
friendships and relationships we have with one another. Those of us who worked closely on that project learned a
lot about each other, not only as people but as leaders. We worked together well. We enjoyed each other’s
company. When it was over, we missed it.
In remembering that project-both its successes and learning opportunities, I look to the future of our chapter. We
have learned so much about ourselves and each other. I hope that you will get involved in one of the many projects
that we have in the works for the rest of the year. It is hard work, and sometimes we wonder why we do it, but at
the end of the day we love doing it. We do it for each other, for the friendships we have made, and the experience it
gives us. We do it because we want to make a difference in people’s lives.
Lucinda LaPierre
Business VP
While we all suffer from Jaycee burnout at some point, I can’t imagine my life without the Jaycees anymore.
Sometimes you just need to take a step back and breathe. It lets life find its perspective again.
It makes us question why we do what we do. When you do that, it’s like you have renewed your faith again.
Sometimes it takes that burnout to show us what we can accomplish when we put our minds to it.
This brings me back to the questions I stated earlier. What inspires you? Where does your passion lie? I believe
that once you answer those questions, you become a force to be reckoned with. Whether it be a national cause
– Special Olympics, Cancer Awareness, Support Our Troops, or something on a more personal level – a local
family, a local park that needs updating, etc find out what your passion project is. When you show your
enthusiasm for your project, it becomes infectious – in a good way. People become drawn to you and want to
help. The more help you have, the farther you spread the word – the greater your impact becomes. When you
choose to work on a project that inspired you, you are less likely to get burnt out because it’s something you
want to see succeed.
So my Jaycees friends, I challenge you. Find your inspiration, your passion project. Figure out what it will take to
accomplish and do it! Show your enthusiasm and grab like minded people to help you accomplish your goals.
You can do it, and I will be there to help you out. If running a project isn’t your thing just yet, find some way to
get involved – assist someone with their passion project, run for a board position, join a committee of some
sort. Challenge yourself, because you never truly know what you are made of until you put yourself out there.
And I guarantee that there are a ton of fantastic people that you will meet along the way.

We Believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
