53rd Annual Swine Barn Refugee Boston Butt Cook and Chicken Roast

MGMT — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 03:12:00 +0000

Come one, come all to the 53rd Annual Swine Barn Refugee Boston Butt Cook and Chicken Roast. Chickens will be plucked and butts burned beginning on Friday, June 19th and concluding on Saturday June 20th. Chickens will be sold for the low, low price of $13 and must be picked up between 5pm and 7pm on Friday the 19th. No chicken will be held after 7pm as they tend to argue politics with the pork products. Pork shoulders (i.e. Boston Butts) can be picked up starting at 10 am on Saturday and will be sold for $25.

All orders must be placed by Wednesday, June 17th to Jeff Deniston via email hidden; JavaScript is required or telephone 870-275-1975.

ACS Relay for Life

MGMT — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:11:11 +0000

Since first establishing the Craighead County Relay for Life, the Jonesboro Jaycees have been active participants in the event, working to raise money to fund research to finally find a cure for cancer. No one among us doesn’t have a family member or friend whose life hasn’t been touched by cancer in some way.

This year, in addition to taking part in the Relay for Life event itself, we’ll also have a booth at the NEA Flea Market hosted by KFIN. We’ll be selling items donated by members and the public with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

The NEA Fair Market will be on Saturday, May 30th at the NEA District Fairgrounds (map).

This year alone, Jaycees across America have raised more than $90,000. Let’s see what we can do about increasing that amount!

If you would like to donate to the Relay for Life, please visit our team page and click the Donate button. You can also use that page to purchase a Luminaria in honor of or in memory of a loved one who has overcome cancer, is still battling cancer, or has lost their battle with cancer. If you would prefer, you can download the Luminaria Order Form and mail it in along with your payment.

Jaycees Go To The Movies

MGMT — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:01:45 +0000

If you’ve got a love for all things Trek or just want to see a (reportedly) really good movie, come out to the Malco Hollywood theater Sunday night and watch Star Trek with us.

A few of us will be watching the 7:40 showing. Everybody is welcome to come since whenever 2 or more Jaycees get together there’s always fun.

If you haven’t yet and want to check out Kirk, Scotty, Spock, and McCoy 2.0, come by and stimulate the local economy.

As always, bring a friend!
