A Message From President Kevin

For over 45 years the North Columbus Junior Chamber, or what we like to call "The Jaycees", has been able to help the Columbus community through fundraisers, social events, and volunteer work. We help young people living in this great city to develop and polish their social and business skills, by offering a place where they can interact with others, just like them, who share their interests. We aid in the efforts of fellow non-profit organizations whose objectives are geared towards benefiting community-oriented businesses. We are as some say, "The University of Practical Experience", as we enjoy each other's company with social outings and get-togethers where lifetime friendships are forged.

The chapter took a giant step last year under the leadership of President Mike Wanchick. Now we must take the next step and maintain our vision of progress, and look forward to more successes and a stronger chapter this year. We are a chapter full of potential which will become an organization driven towards success in our efforts for the betterment of our community and self; it is our belief that every single member can, and will, benefit from a variety of events hosted by the Jaycees.

If we dare put our minds into it, we can achieve. If we dare put our skills to work, we can build. If we dare take on this humane responsibility with pride, we can succeed, and have fun doing so. After all, we are a group of young people that are looking to have a great time as we make a better world! We are the Jaycees. We are leaders.

I encourage all of you who have taken the time to read this message to take an active role in your community. This world needs more leaders, not followers. The Jaycees can help by giving you the tools necessary to compliment your skills. Whether it's the Jaycees, the Chamber of Commerce, or even helping your ederly neighbor take out the trash...make a difference, learn and have fun!

Kevin Kowalsky
46^th President
