Fellow Jaycees,

Happy New Years!  I hope that everyone has had a wonderful beginning to the year.  I have some important updates about the format for this year’s Jaycee meetings.  The board has decided to reduce our membership dues for renewing members from $225 down to $150 this year both to make our organization more financially stable and in the hopes of recruiting more members.  As a result of the cost reduction we will be meeting in two different locations.

2nd Tuesday of the month will remain at the Thomas Center for a more formal dinner meeting with a community speaker.

4th Tuesday of the month we will be moving to the Durham Main library located at 300 N. Roxboro Street, Durham NC 27701.  We will be holding our membership meetings at the library and then heading out to a restaurant in downtown for dinner and drinks.  The board hopes that this will give us all the opportunity to discover a bit more about Durham’s constantly changing downtown. For directions to the library please check out: http://www.durhamcountylibrary.org/locations/main_directions.php.

The Durham Jaycees is an organization of young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40 who are dedicated to leadership development through community service. Through projects like the Haunted House, Casino Night, the Great Human Race, and a multitude of others, the Jaycees have raised money for community organizations in addition to growing Jaycee members into leaders and creating lifelong friends. We've been serving the community of Durham, North Carolina since 1938!

The Durham Jaycees meet the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 PM.

A change starting in 2012 sees the meeting on the second Tuesday being held at the R. David Thomas Hotel and Conference Center on Duke University’s West Campus. Directions to the Center can be found here. Dinner will be provided for this meeting.

Our meeting on the fourth Tuesday will be held at the Durham Main Library on Roxboro Street. Directions can be found here. After this meeting you are welcome to join your fellow Jaycees at local restaurants to continue the social aspect of the Jaycees.

Please subscribe to our calendar for upcoming events.

There are often events going on in and around Duke's campus and the R. David Thomas Center has provided us with a parking pass in order to access their parking lot during our meetings. If you are a guest interested in visiting us, or if you are a member who seems to have misplaced your pass, please contact Ryan Webb and he will gladly email you a copy.
