We need $8,000 to $12,000 for Access Day at the Fair

Missouri Jaycees:

Access Day at the State Fair is one of our state programs. The last Friday of the State Fair in Sedalia (this year it is August 15th) we bus in people from group homes around the state. We provide them a sack lunch in the air-conditioned armory, along with a dj and clowns. We pay for their admission into the fair, so that they can enjoy the day. At the end of the afternoon, we load them back on their busses and send them home. For some of these people, it is their only chance during the year to leave their group home. It's something they look forward to all year long.

Donations for Access Day are down. We need to raise $8,000 to $12,000 for this event to happen. As a way to promote the program and raise funds, the Missouri Jaycees State Team will be auctioning themselves off this Sunday, May 18th at the General Membership Meeting at the State Spring Meeting in Macon. Make sure to bring your $$$ and buy one or more of the State Team members to work a chapter event of your choice!!!!

If you can't make it to Macon this weekend, please mail your donations to the Missouri Jaycees State Service Center, 222 E. Dunklin St., Suite 100, Jefferson City, MO, 65101. Make checks payable to Missouri Jaycees with Access Day written in the memo line.

Let's Work Together to make the 2008 Missouri Jaycees Access Day at the State Fair a HUGE SUCCESS!
