Clear Lake Jaycees

Clear Lake Jaycees A group of young professionals between the ages of 21-40 that raise money, 'for the kids!' It all began when a 22-year-old St. In 1916, the Y.M.P.C.A.

Louis bank clerk and Herculaneum Dance Club president set out to attack such wild new dances as the grizzly beat, tango, and fox trot. From this modest beginning, Henry Giessenbier's dance clubs moved forward and on October 13, 1915, 32 young men formed the Young Men's Progressive Civic Association, turning its attention to civic affairs. changed its name to Junior Citizens, from which came the ni

ckname JC, or when spelled out, Jaycees. The JCs were quickly noted by various civic-minded businessmen and in 1918 became affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce and changed its name from Junior Citizens to the St. Louis Junior Chamber of Commerce, after which the fame of its civic work began to spread. The idea was contagious and, in January 1920, chapters in 12 cities met to form the National JC organization with Henry Giessenbier as its first president. After battling for its existence during World War II, the United States Junior Chamber boomed and today there are more than 6000 clubs and nearly 300,000 young people across the country. A world alliance of JCs was formed in 1944 in Mexico City, with the founding of the Junior Chamber International with the avowed purpose and one obligation of a "way toward world peace." The JCI now consists of a network of 119 free world nations with more than 250,000 members on its rolls.
