In addition to the Regional Officer Training provided by the Fox Valley Region, the Crystal Lake Jaycees will be providing a resume review and a mock interview workshop.   Bring your resume on a flash drive and your questions.  We'll have some computers and a printer available so you can print out copies for you to take home.

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions?

• How can I help others in Crystal Lake and the surrounding area?
• How can I meet new people?
• How can I learn new personal skills like public speaking, writing, budget planning, and project organization in a fun environment?
• Is there more to life than work, tv, sleeping, and eating?
• How can I share my experience and skills with others?
• How can I make a difference?

The Crystal Lake Jaycees are looking for interested individuals, famlies and business to Adopt - A - Family for the 2011 Share A Christmas Program.   The Jaycees are running the program to help our neighbors who are less fortunate and are in tough situations this year.
