Gingerbread Houses and Santa
Pictures ~ December 12
For the third year in a row,
we invited chapter and community members to come build gingerbread
houses. We provided homebaked gingerbread pieces along with
candy and icing to 20 children and their families. During
the event, children were also able to create a holiday craft
and get their photos taken with Santa.

Sanford Chamber) ~ November 23
The CCJCs worked with the Sanford
Chamber of Commerce to plan and manage the 2009 Sanford Christmas
Parade, presented by Progress Energy. Our main area of responsibility
was vendor management.
Football Concessions ~ Saturdays
in October
We are selling food, snacks,
and drinks for the Lee County Parks & Recreation department
at the county's youth football games, which are held at SanLee
Middle School every weekend in October and the first weekend
in November.
Concessions are always hopping

Hut and running beneficial community projects. We begin a
little before 10 am and sell until after 1 pm.
If you can help, please contact
Shannon
or Kelly.

be able to rent the space in time for the holiday season.

Inauguration Party ~ January
20, 2009
For many, the election of Barack
Obama, our first black President, was considered a watershed
moment that began with the Civil Rights movement.
On Inauguration Day, the Central Carolina Jaycees gathered
in Woodbridge to watch the inauguration, reminisce about
the heated 2008 election season, and discuss what happens
next.
Attendees ate spaghetti and
made a patriotic sign. The children ate homemade snowcones
and red-white-and-blue jello. Everyone had a fantastic evening!
Our fun night was captured
in
the Sanford Herald and even added to reporter Erin
Zureick's blog!
