Mr. Gene's History Hunt

Dear fellow Green Coaters, Senators, and Cardinal Colonels. Life
Members, Honorary Life Members, Old Timers and former Jaycettes,

I apologize to those that have received this (or similar) email before.

As many of you may realize, this is the 75th year of the Greensboro
Jaycees. I have already been in contact with several of you about
obtaining information about the club’s history. I’ve asked people
personally, read many years worth of The Projectors, and several GGO/
KGGO/GGCC/CCG programs and went through several personal notes. All
of this in an effort to track some history of the club.

Since the primary function of the Jaycees is to develop leaders, I
mainly focused on recording our leadership. As you can see by the
documents I am including I concentrated on recording the leadership of
the Jaycees, Executive Committee, Green Coat Club, Jaycettes and even
the Old Timers. I also tried to fill in some gaps on recording
Greensboro’s Life Members, Honorary Life Members, JCI Senators and
Carinal Corps Colonels.

As I started working I started including a category for Major Awards
(the Annual ones) and Major Chairmanships. I haven’t included the GGO
Worker of the Year (now called the Eldreth) only because I can’t find
any history on it.

In the documents I’ve attached to this email you will see what I was
able to find.

As you read over these, I still have several holes to fill in. I was
hoping I could ask for your assistance in filling these gaps. One of
the documents shows the resources I used to find this information. If
you have any answers you could share, or a copy of a GGO program or
set of The Projector magazines from a year I don’t have on my list
that I could borrow it would be greatly appreciated.

The Jaycees plan to have a 75th Anniversary celebration on October
22nd. More on that later, but I will need to be done with this
“History Hunt” by October 1st. Those I’ve contacted have joked that
I’ve “Taxed their Memories,” but yes, I need everyone’s help.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this endeavor.
