We're glad you are interested in possibly joining the Jaycees.  This is a great time to get involved.  The Decatur Jaycees have been around for many, many years and have had hundreds of members in that time.  For the past couple of years we have had a surge in membership and we continue to grow and get more active in the community.  The Jaycees are responsible for several annual events, with Riverfest being the biggest and most notable. 

We meet twice a month...the first Tuesday of the month at 12 noon at The Holiday Inn in Decatur and the third Thursday of the month at various restaurants in town.  The Thursday night meeting usually consists of networking and socializing.  During the lunch meetings we have officer reports, committee reports, and handle any business, make announcements, etc.  The meetings don't last longer than one hour (if that long) and attendance is not required (i.e. we urge attendance but understand that our jobs sometimes get in the way).

Dues are $240/year (with a one time "induction fee" of $60 that goes to the state association), which covers your meal at each meeting (24 meetings per year = $10 per meeting).  That can be paid annually, quarterly, monthly...however is easiest.  Some members pay their own dues, some companies pay for them. 

We do a lot of community service, which is our mission, but we are also making the Jaycees a networking and social organization.
