Jaycee Juice - September 2020
September GMM Recap
As we continue to operate in a virtual world, We encourage you all to keep checking our facebook group for opportunities to help and to share things with members you may find useful, in addition to checking our calendar of events on our website for trainings and happenings offered at various JCI Levels!
Lots of things are happening this fall. If you are interested in helping with any event, or have an idea for another one, please let your 2020 board know.

Support our Partners
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc for many Michigan businesses; especially those involving contact with the public. Many of our partners have been affected by orders to close or change their business model for the time being. In an effort to give back, we've created a list of our partners along with their websites. We encourage you to help them in this time of need to be a patron as you are able or consider making a purchase of a gift card to be used later. Help our partners who have given so much to us over the years, in a time when they could use a helping hand!
Check out a list of our partners by clicking here.
Any suggestions of small businesses in Lansing that should be showcased, send to Kristin Rhine.
