The Canton Jaycees are excited to be continuing our Happy Tails Animal Shelter Assist Project in 2008. This year we will be working with Stark County Humane Society's volunteer coordinator to find ways of expanding this project beyond just monthly visits.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this project, the Jaycees visit the Stark County Humane Society one Saturday afternoon each month and help out with the animals. Different ways of helping out during the visits range from "light duty" tasks (e.g., walking the dogs and/or petting and grooming the cats) to "dirty work" (e.g., cleaning cat cages and/or bathing dogs). Volunteers are encouraged to participate in whatever way(s) are most enjoyable to them...if you don't want to bathe dogs, we won't make you, and if you don't want to change cat litter, we won't make you do that, either! It's absolutely fine with us if you want to walk dogs or groom cats, and you are free to stay as long or as little as you like.
Each volunteer is also asked to bring one donation item from the shelter's wishlist (viewable at www.starkhumane.org) when they report to the shelter. Most of these items are available for great prices at our local dollar stores. SCHS is always in need of newspapers for cat litter, so if you've got a stack of old papers you need to get rid of, bring 'em with you -- help the environment and the shelter!
Children are always welcome at Happy Tails events, but anyone under the age of 16 must have a parent/guardian with them at all times during the event. Parents/guardians of minors must also fill out the SCHS waiver form, which is downloadable at www.starkhumane.org and also available at the front desk of the Humane Society.
Listed below is a schedule of 2008 visits. Please mark your calendars and datebooks! Reminders will be emailed each month, approximately one week before the actual visits. We need to keep track of all volunteers -- when you receive your reminders, please let Tori know if you plan on attending at that time (you DO NOT need to let her know if you DO NOT plan on attending, unless you are fond of doing so  ).
The donation drive associated with this project is scheduled for July 26th, and planning will most likely begin in April -- it's never too early to start thinking about becoming a donation drive committee member!
Please email Tori (

) if you have any questions or need more information! You can also visit the photo albums at www.cantonjaycees.org to see pictures from some of last year's visits and watch for new photos of all the fun we'll be having this year!

Wine Social Recap ~ The Jaycees March Wine Social on March 16 was a great success! Former Jaycees President Clint Zollinger opened his house to about 20 Jaycees for an evening of conversation, good wine and yummy hors d'oeuvres. Everyone brought a bottle and we had a wide variety to sample from. The evening was a hit, so stay tuned for another one in the fall. Ucoming Social Event at Fedeli's ~ Join us at Fedeli’s Bar Down-under, where the in-crowd meets for top-shelf good times and the cocktails flow as easily as the conversation. Friday, April 20th we will meet at the Fedeli's Bar at 7:30pm. Jazz music begins at 8pm. The bar provides a sleek and trendy atmosphere geared toward couples, singles, and business clientele, and is the place to be seen.

April Membership Meeting: Self-defense Class and K-9 demonstration!Have you ever felt scared walking to your car at night and wished that you knew some moves like Chuck Norris?! Have you ever seen the K-9 unit and wondered what those dogs could really do?! Well, here is your chance! At our monthly membership meeting on Tuesday April 17th, the Canton Police Department will be teaching a short class on self-defense while also giving us a K-9 demonstration. Also, a representative from the Stark County Parks will talk to us briefly about the upcoming levy. The meeting will start at 5:30 at the Chamber (222 Market Street N) and we will be providing Old Carolina BBQ for dinner. Even though we plan to cover a lot of information in a short period of time, we will attempt to keep the meeting to only an hour. Please let Graycee (

) know if you plan to attend this meeting. By RSVPing you are not locked into attending, and if you haven't RSVP'ed you are still welcome to show up. We are just trying to make sure we have enough food. As always, feel free to bring a non-Jaycees friend!!!
