Lombard Jaycees
     The Lombard Jaycees were founded on June 22,1950 and had 15 charter members.  The members sold Christmas trees and held social dinner dances to raise funds for their struggling new chapter and to help the community.  From those humble beginnings we have grown by leaps and bounds.  The Lombard Jaycees currently have close to 100 members and continue to grow from month to month and year to year.  We have past members that are officers in the Village of  Lombard including the Village President, Village Trustees, and the Park District President.
 

     Over the years the Lombard Jaycees have played an important part in creating some of the traditional events that happen within the Village of Lombard.  The Distinguished Service Awards & Man of the Year ceremony is now a 60-year-old event, the Haunted House has been scaring the residents for over 35 years, the Taste of Lombard is THE party in the park for the 4th of July and is over 25 years old, and the Easter Eggstravaganza has been introducing the children of Lombard to the Easter Bunny for more than 15 years.

     The Lombard Jaycees are fun, caring people who are ages 18-41 that are willing to share their spare time to make the Lombard area a better place to live.  At the same time the Jaycees are also working to improve themselves.  Some of these improvements are learning organizational, communication, teamwork and leadership skills that can help you advance at work.  Jaycees are provided with leadership learning opportunities through hands on experience.  This experience is gained through local, state, national and international levels on everything from community projects to guiding Junior Chamber International.  True leaders aren't born, they're made.

The Jaycee Creed

   By C. William Brownfield
 
We Believe....
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life; 
 
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
 
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
 
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
 
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality; 
 
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.
