Chapter Project Feature: Sauk Rapids Jaycees
The Sauk Rapids Jaycees have hosted the Jose Cole Circus in Sauk Rapids for 4 years. The funds raised from this event support the chapter’s operations and projects until the chapter’s concession stand during the summer. It is by far one of the most challenging projects their chapter runs but is also the most profitable. Chapter President Kayla Green shared, “as a former chairperson I look forward to seeing how it will grow and evolve in the upcoming years. Each new chairperson brings a new flair to the project and it is getting better every year.” “It is a pleasure to work with the chapter to bring a smile to the faces of so many children in our community. That is reward enough for the hard work that goes into this great project,” said Anton Bergee, the chapter’s Social Director.
