The Paragould Jaycees send along the following news:

The Paragould Jaycees recently went visiting and caroling with the elderly at the local mini rise Sat Dec 21. We made cookies, snacks, muffins, etc for those we visited. We also purchased food baskets for 6 meals on wheels participants. These food baskets from the Jaycees were given in addition to other items for 6 participants that were adopted by employees of Sr B’s. We also adopted 5 kids from DHS for Christmas and our kids were given a great Christmas due to the generosity of our members.

Jaycees do a lot throughout the year in their various chapters, but one of the most rewarding is lending a helping hand.
