JCI Lake Elmo would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. As 2025 comes to a close we are saddened to announce that JCI Lake Elmo will be folding at the the end of this year. We have had over 50 years of service to the Lake Elmo community. Unfortunately as with many civic organizations, our membership has declined over the years. We did our best to keep going; however, running our projects and large fundraisers with just a handful of dedicated active members has become unsustainable.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey:
• To our members and alumni: your time, passion, and dedication have been the foundation of everything we've accomplished together.
• To our partners: your collaboration, trust, and support allowed us to make a meaningful impact.
• To the community: thank you for welcoming us, engaging with us, and believing in our work — your encouragement has made every step of our journey meaningful.
Since the founding of the JCI Lake Elmo, our chapter remained deeply committed to the community. We had been fortunate enough to have Charitable Gambling at Twin Point that has financially supported many youth sports and activities throughout the Lake Elmo and St Croix Valley as well as an annual donation to The City of Lake Elmo and to a shopping event for our local shelter, Tubman. Our history is proudly shared with those who call Lake Elmo home.
Thank you for believing in our mission, walking alongside us, and giving of yourselves to make a difference. It has been our honor to serve the Lake Elmo community for over 50 years.
