The Jonesboro Jaycees have made the news twice in one day. Even better, it’s good news!

Two projects of the Jonesboro Jaycees have been featured in The Sun, the regional newspaper of Northeast Arkansas. The first article is about Jonesboro’s Christmas for Kids program which donates toys to hundreds upon hundreds of underprivileged children in Jonesboro and the surrounding area. Last year, Christmas for Kids served nearly 1,700 kids.

The second article is about the 60th Annual Jonesboro Christmas Parade which is hosted by the Jonesboro Jaycees.
