Monthly MeetingsMeetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm at the Windsor 75 Diner at 35 Poquonock Ave in Windsor.
Anyone interested in more information about the Windsor Jaycees should feel free to stop by any monthly meeting. We hope to see you there! |
Christmas TreesEvery year the Windsor Jaycees sell Christmas Trees in the Windsor Shopping Center parking lot (the Ocean State Job Lot plaza). The Jaycees set up a site under the Windsor Shopping Center sign. Some of our customers tell us that they've been buying their tree from us for a decade or more. We thank them for their continued support.
Sales typically begin a week after thanksgiving and continue until we are sold out. We are open Wednesday thru Friday 5 pm to 830 pm, Saturday 10 am to 830 pm and Sunday 12 pm to 5 pm.
Come on by and help support the Windsor Community by purchasing your Christmas Tree from the Windsor Jaycees. Proceeds from Tree sales go to our scholarship fund for local students. |
High School ScholarshipsLast year the Windsor Jaycees granted three $1,000 college scholarships and one $500 college scholarship to 4 deserving students from schools in Windsor.
To apply for a scholarship, see your guidance counselor for an application. All applications are reviewed by our scholarship commitee. |
Sheila Schmidt FishingHere in Connecticut's oldest town, we maintain a yearly tradition called the Shad Derby Festival. Part of that festival is to stock the pond at Washington Park with trout and invite our school children with special needs to come fish, eat a picnic lunch, and enjoy springtime in New England.
We supply the fishing rods, bait, and lunch.
In 2009, the event is on Friday, May 8th at 6:00 pm. |
Shad DerbyDid you know that the Windsor Jaycees have been organizing the Shad Derby Green and Parade for over 30 years? Since 1972, we have had the pleasure of working with other community groups and the Shad Fest Bureau to bring Windsor its biggest event of the year.
If you'd like to be involved with the Shad Derby Green or Parade, please visit our "2010 Shad Derby" page for an application and/or our membership page to inquire about joining the Windsor Jaycees.
The Windsor Jaycees also hold an art contest for the Shad Derby Day festivities. For rules and to participate, please download our flyer undr "2010 Shad Derby".
