Invitations had been sent out to a number of young men between the ages of 18 and 40 and some follow- up telephoning was done at the beginning of last week. "From the results of the first meeting and particular- ly from the interest ex- pressed during our telephone canvass, I am confident that Jaycees will become a reality in Scugog,"' said Nigel Schilling, the chairman of the extension team for the Canada Jay- cees. In our experience, a municipality the size of Port Perry even without the surrounding population in Scugog Township, is suf- ficiently large to support a Jaycee unit. Toronto is in the midst of chartering a unit whose members all work in the Sheraton Centre hotel," he said. The next introduction night will commence at 8 p.m. this Thursday, April 5th, at the Town Hall 1873, at the corner of Queen and Lilla Streets in Port Perry. As part of the brief program for the evening, an audio-visual seminar covering a couple of' the Jaycees' self develop- ment courses will be given. Mr. Schilling stressed that you do not need a formal invitation to attend. Anyone of Jaycee age is welcome to attend without obligation. Last week's edition of the Star contained an outline of the Jaycee organization.
