Throughout the year, the Naperville Jaycees encourage residents to be on the look-out for nominees to be honored for their 2014 DSAs. Meanwhile, the Jaycees are gearing up for Lobster Days on May 11 and meeting regularly to plan their annual four-day family-fun festival Last Fling and Labor Day Parade.
Thanks, Jaycees!
