Thanksgiving Generosity 2010

Thanksgiving Generosity 2010

This year the Lake Geneva Jaycees were once again able to more than double their usual donation levels for this great annual event.  Over $6000.00 in food  and  grocery  store gift certificates was given to both the Lake Geneva Food Pantry and the WC Family Resource Center and Food Pantry. Here is a brief list of the items the Jaycees were able to provide this year:

Thanks to the help of our community, friends, family, businesses, and all the hard working Lake Geneva Jaycees, even in the midst of one of the worst economies in modern times, we were able to double our donation efforts for the second year in a row.  With luck and more hard work, we really hope to be able to continue to provide the help and service our community needs for years to come. 

In addition to the Thanksgiving Dinner’s donated, the Jaycees also donated $1000 worth of $25 Gift Certificates to Stinebrink’s Piggly Wiggly so needy families could get any other additional last minute Thanksgiving Food Items.The Jaycees also hand delivered the food to both location!  In all more than a dozen Jaycees joined in the fun at both locations!

2010 marked the 48th year for Venetian Festival and the Lake Geneva Jaycees.  It is through the hard work and efforts that take place at Venetian Festival and other Jaycee fundraisers that allow us to remain one of the largest community service groups in the Lakes Area.
