This organization is near and dear to my heart. I would LOVE to see the O'Fallon Jaycees growing and making a difference in our community!

Dear O’Fallon Business Owner / Manager:

The O’Fallon chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce is currently expanding in the O’Fallon area.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees), the organization was started in St. Louis in 1920 as a way to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others. The Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.

For the past 90 years, Junior Chamber members have been a force for good in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.

In 1969, the O’Fallon Jaycees erected the Omer J. Dames War Memorial, one of the first in the nation to honor U.S. soldiers killed in the Vietnam War.

We encourage you to sponsor an employee (between the age of 18-40) to be a member at the organization’s annual rate of $65. If you have the resources to sponsor more than one, we encourage you to do so. Your employee will network with other individuals in O’Fallon and throughout the St. Louis region, gain valuable leadership skills, and give back to the community through community service. The organization also offers social opportunities for those who are seeking new friendships.

The O’Fallon Jaycees are holding an informational meeting at JJ’s Restarurant located at 200 Ft. Zumwalt Square in O’Fallon on Thursday, February 17, from 7:00pm-9:00pm. We want to extend an invitation for you to send an employee.

Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to meeting the future business and community leaders of O’Fallon.

Sincerely,

Scott Tate
Region 5 Director (St. Louis Region), Missouri Jaycees

Erin Williams
President & CEO, O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce
