Kankakee clean up crew, ran by local teen Nolan Bukowski, has taken it upon himself to create positive change in his community through beautification of Kankakee's streets. In celebration of Kankakee Day 2019, the Kankakee Area Jaycees sponsored the beautification of this corner at River St. and Myrtle Ave.! We hope to work with Nolan moving forward and help him in his goal of a beautiful, positive, unified Kankakee!

Throughout the month of April, the Kankakee Area Jaycees is having a fundraiser for Becky's Blessing Bakery! The Blessing Bakery, operated by Becky Juhl of Momence, is a year-round bake sale that donates 100% of the proceeds to local nonprofits and charities. Becky bakes with real ingredients and whole, natural foods, such as grinding her own organic flour and using natural beet powder instead of synthetic red dye.
Becky’s Blessing Bakery is an example of how we can use our unique gifts and talents to create positive change in our communities. Our goal is to raise $125 so that we can provide Becky’s Blessing Bakery with the food packaging she needs to safely transport and distribute her baked goods.
Please consider making even a small donation. Every little bit helps! To donate, visit our webpage at https://kankakeejaycees.org/bakery/. If you would like further information, please contact the project chairperson, Amanda Bove.

At last night’s board meeting, we welcomed two new members to our board! President Amber Cahue swore in Alex Heinberg as our Vice President of Internal Affairs and Annie Wehr as our Vice President of External Affairs. Annie was also sworn in as a new member. It’s invigorating and exciting to have so many new members step up into board leadership positions! This is going to be a great year!!!

Did the snow and cold keep you from our first general meeting of 2019? Here’s what you missed:

Amber Cahue was sworn in as President by Christa Conner. Amber then swore in Amanda Bove, Marleina Michaels, Diane Spry, and Christa Conner as members of her board for 2019. Amber also swore in Diane Spry, Meredith Brennan, and Marleina Michaels as new members.

We also enjoyed a presentation by Jaycees Senator Yvonne Agnello-Adams, who told us more about the benefits and opportunities for Jaycees at the local, state, and international levels.

We hope you can make it to our next meeting on February 25 at 7 pm, at Family House restaurant in Bradley. All friends and community members are welcome!
