1968--1969
THE WISCONSIN JAYCETTE CREED
LET US GENEROUSLY GIVE
Our friendship to each other
Our enthusiastic support to the
Wisconsin Jaycees
Our talents, ideas, labors, and
contributions to the betterment of our communities
Our hearts and our assistance to the unfortunate
And our attention to the great
responsibility that is ours as
wives of America's young leaders
and mothers of those who will
inherit that leadership.
Fay Jones Adopted May 1958
WHAT IS A JAYCETTE?
Our Jaycette is cooperative and friendly, full of fresh ideas;
She has an outlet for expression, always eager to please.
She may be fat, or she may be thin;
But to the Jaycee she married, she's just right for him.
She has a new baby, maybe she's P. G.
Yet, she finds time to help in her community.
Peddle pushers and pincurls, her dress by day;
At night, her smartness makes men look her way.
She's a little Jaycee, assists her husband to expand;
Watches the family's pennies, always the helping hand.
She probably joined Jayeettes as no more than a girl;
Quickly becomes a woman, ready to give responsibilities a whirl.
Be it card tables for a Jaycette party, handicraft for a bazaar.
Groceries or children to carry, the Jaycette must have a car.
She's in the busiest time of her life, spreads herself quite thin;
But where there is a worthy charity, you can count our Jaycette in.
What is a Jayeette? She's the wife of a Jaycee;
Wherever in Wisconsin, She's a friend to you and me.
JAYCETTE HISTORY
Eighteen years after the first Jaycee Chapter was organized in the U. S., the first Jaycee Auxiliary was established. This ocurred in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1933. Four years later in 1937, Auxiliaries from Wausau, Beaver Dam, Miwaukee, Oshkosh, and Rhinelander met and organized the first State Jaycee Auxiliary in the nation.
Realizing that combined, organized effort on the part of many chapters would bring greater benefits and success to any projects, the first state project was adopted in 1938 and was dedicated to Public Education for the control of Social Diseases. Since its conception the State Jaycettes have purchased five iron lungs, donated much money and equipment to various causes including Camp Wawbeek, a camp for the physically handicapped, and established a Cerebral Palsy Trust Fund. Since 1947, $57,000. has been contributed by affliated Chapters to the trust fund. This year $4,400. was granted to Camp Wawbeek for a multi purpose building which was dedicated in June.
The Wisconsin Jaycee Auziliary has grown from five charter members in 1937 to approximately ninety chapters , 2,007 members, in 1965.
WHAT DOES BEING A JAYCETTE MEAN TO ME ON THE STATE LEVEL?
Why should your unit be affiliated with the State?
Your local unit was organized to assist the Jaycees. The state organization was also formed in order to cooperate with the Jaycees. There are now many additional advantages which are listed below:
Informative materials available that are complied by the State. News and ideas from district and state newsletters. Participation in doing good through the State project.
State officers available to personally help your unit. The evaluation of local units' accomplishments through merit awards.
Recognition of Wisconsin talents through the larger, more complex state organization.
Satisfaction derived from extending new units.
State conventions and regional meetings:
Exchange of ideas.
Program and welfare suggestions.
New projects for making money.
Make new friends from all over Wisconsin.
ARE THERE JAYCETTES ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL?
The Jaycettes are not nationally organized. This does not mean that Jaycettes do not attend and benefit from national conventions. Although not officially organized, there are social and informative meetings planned. At these meetings ideas are exchanged, problems discussed, and new friends made.
WISCONSIN JAYCETTE SECONDARY PROJECT: MENTAL HEALTH & RETARDATION
In 1960, Mental Health & Retardation was adopted by the Wisconsin Jaycettes as a secondaryor side project, to be adopted in their communities in the best manner suitable.
The Mental Health State Chairman will help chapters investigate the needs in the field of mental health. Suggestions for self-education, such as films, pamphlets, and ideas for projects and programs are provided.
Chapters may also make donations to the Wisconsin Mental Health Association.
YOUR C.P. PROJECT HISTORY
The plight of Cerebral Palsied was brought to the attention of the Wisconsin Jaycettes by the President Mrs. Marvin Bump (Lucille) , in 1947. There were only a small number of doctors in the nation that could diagnose and lay out treatments for the Cerebral Palsied and there was but a
handful of trained therapists. There was no treatment center, no facilities for education. It was found, in short, that the Cerebral Palsied were unfortunately the group for whom absolutely nothing was being done.
These conditions were emphasied in a speech presented by Miss Jane Shover in 1946,at the annual Convention held in Stevens Point. At that time The Wisconsin Jaycettes voted to Adopt Cerebral Palsy as their State Project. At this time also the 'Cerebral Palsy Trust Fund was established.
MERIT AWARD
This provides a means of honoring chapters for doing outstanding work. There are three awards given in each of four population classes. A local Merit Award committee should be set up in your chapter to gather and sort all your activities from March 1 to March 1 of the following year. It is suggested that the local State Director be in charge of this program, since she serves
as representative of State in your local. It is also recommended that good records be kept and submitted by all chairmen on all activities. The Awards are presented at the Annual Convention in May . Merit Award outlines are sent via the State Double mailing to each local each year by the State Merit Award chairman. The entries are judged by Jayecttes from another state.
MILESTONE AWARD
Jaycette chapters that are newly organized, compete and are honored for outstanding work accomplished between the organizational date (election of officers) and the first anniversary of that organizational date, submitted the first entry date following this anniversary. However, if the group prefrs to submit their entry within first organizational year, they are free to do so. The award outlines are sent through the State double mailing to each local chapter.

REGIONAL AND REGIONAL MEETING
Acting as a liaison group between the local and state is the regional meeting.
There are 6 regions in the State. The Waupun Jaycettes are in Region 5 and there are 9 chapters in our half of the region. They include Beaver Dam, Berlin, Columbus, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Portage, Randolph, Waupun and Wautoma. Each Spring and Fall one of these chapters host a Regional Meeting. Ideas are exchanged and matters voted upon which will be on the forthcoming State Convention Agenda. This enables our convention delegates to vote in the best interests of our region and local. At the Spring Regional meeting we elect a Regional Vice-President whoacts as a liaison officer between Region and State. She is privileged to sit on the Executive Board at the State Meeting.
STATE CONVENTIONS
Twice a year the Jaycettes hold state-wide conventions. A Midyear in December and an Annual in May. Many functions are attended by both Jaycees and Jaycettes. This year the Mid-year will be at Wauwatosa and the Annual at Green Bay.
CEREBRAL PALSY EDUCATIONAL AWARD
At Mid -Year Convention in 1956, it was voted to give an award to the unit doing the most outstanding job in Cerebral Palsy education in their local community – exclusive of money raising projects.
This award is presented to the Jaycette Local doing the most outstanding job furthuring the cause of Cerebral Palsy via community awareness. This award consists of a certificate plus a Camp Wawbeek Campership. The first year for this award was 1957.
MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATIONAL AWARD
At the recent Mid - Year Convention in December, 1965, money was donated for the establishment of a Mental Health Award.
