Laurel Jaycees Have Successful

4th of July weekend!

With 2 bands entertaining the crowd, the Laurel Jaycee's July 3rd Street Dance was a success.

Mother Nature tried to blow everything over just before opening, but when she settled down, the Laurel Jaycees and volunteers worked double-time to repair everything, and finished just before Showtime!

Due to the success of the weekend, the Laurel Jaycees will be donating $400 to a family in need. We will also be donating over $3,100 to the Legion Baseball Program. 

At the 4th of July Pancake Breakfast we served over 1000 people and it was steady and exciting! The Boy Scout troop 414 helped host the event and we will be donating $500 to their troop for summer camp!

Our Kiddie's Parade had almost 100 participants and it was a GREAT way to kick off the Main Parade through Laurel, Montana!

 Laurel Jaycees Host KIDZ CAMP

On December 18, 2010, the Laurel Jaycees hosted a Kidz Camp for the community. Parents that wanted to do some last minute shopping could drop their children off at the Jaycee Hall while they went shopping without any interruptions! 

Kids were treated to Toy Story I, II & III and LOTS of activities and food and refreshments! Santa even came by and paid a visit to the children!

We had a number of sponsors of the event, such as Walmart of Laurel donated LOTS of gifts and decorations. Pitts Pizza of Laurel donated 6 Pizzas and Breadsticks for the children!

We had some local businesses sponsor some of the children being cared for at the the Kidz Camp: Ace Electric, Napa Auto Parts, Emma's Bakery, Midwest Software!

All of the kids had a fulfilling time and each received a "goodie pack" with toys and treats from Walmart of Laurel.

We would like to thank the volunteers that showed up to help entertain and watch the children during the day, and who helped decorate and promote to make this event a SUCCESS!

Thank you to: Pam Frey, Brandi Montgomery, Jodi Chapman, Leo Duran, Mark McLelland, Ally Myran, Jami Kautzmann, Howard Rickard, Ryan Henry, Doug Sutton, Shane Potter and many more. Thank you very, very much!
