Welcome 2021

Hello All,

Welcome to 2021, I know we were all looking forward to this year very much, but maybe you are starting to rethink that? Well, I have some fun things to help distract you from the drab.

I am excited to announce that your 2021 Board of Directors has been hard at work, and we have some very exciting things on the docket this year. We are looking forward to meeting with you at our first virtual general membership meeting on January 21st, where we hope to pass the budget, and get you excited and pumped up for 2021. If you have any fun ideas you would like to share, we would love to hear them there!

But before I give you the highly anticipated calendar…here are a few messages from the board:

Hello Jaycees!

It’s that time of year again where we are looking for chairs for our major ways and means projects. Unfortunately we have already lost Rock the Garden due to COVID, but we still have the Renaissance Festival, Trail of Terror, Scott County Beer Sales, and Taste of Shakopee/Big Taste of Fun to get ready for! If you are interested, please reach out. We would like to have all submissions in by January 31st, so we can be fully prepared and ready! Please email to mdvp@jcishakopee.org and mddir@jcishakopee.org

Thank you,

Your 2021 Management Team

From State Delegate:
