Active Participation in the Big Rapids Jaycees
takes place outside the normal work
environment, but has lasting impact on job
performance. What separates the Jaycees from
other professional organizations is the ability
to learn, practice, and refine traits that are
learned and reinforced by professional and
personal skills. Leadership traits are learned
and reinforced by attending programs, chairing
projects, and becoming involved with the
Board of Directors. Our organization has
found active participation to be the most
rewarding and enriching way to gain
professional skills.

The 4th of July will be here very soon, and I can’t wait to see the
sky light up with fireworks on Saturday night at dusk at the
Mecosta County Fairgrounds. But even before the fireworks start
our day will kick off at 11am with the Bike Decorating contest at
Big Rapids Middle School. All are welcome to attend. At noon,
the Red, White, Blue & YOU 4th of July parade will start to roll
down Michigan Avenue. The parade will be led by our 2009
Grand Marshall, John Voelker. There is still time to sign up for
the parade if you are interested. Please contact Nick or Melissa
Scheible at nscheibl@brps.k12.mi.us.
This is going to be a great year for the fireworks, and I have to
take the time out to thank the continuing support from our local
businesses and the members of our community.
A BIG thanks to our sponsors!

I would also like to thank John Currie and the Fairgrounds
committee for the use of their facilities. And finally, I have to
thank the continuing support from the Jaycees themselves. The
time and effort our members put into these events and fundraisers
is amazing. A big round of applause for them and for making this
event possible. Let’s just pray for good weather!
See you on the 4th!
