Treasurer (Rob): 
We made about $140 at the car wash that we will be donating to the Clearbrook Center for Developmentally Disabled adults.  We have enough money for the rest of the year.

Community VP (Michelle):
We are expecting to have a speaker from Shelter, Inc. at our October meeting.  We hope to volunteer at Shelter, Inc. again soon.

COB/Newsletter (Mike):
The car wash was successful despite the poor weather and press coverage.  Clearbrook will be getting the proceeds.  The newsletter went out at the beginning of September.

Local Directors (Kate/Chaffee):
-There will be a Springboard & Degrees workshop at 6:30 on 9/23 at Kate's house for those interested.
-The back-to-school Office Max shopping spree raised some supplies, but next year we'll probably try a more crowded location.
-OnPoint is still taking orders for print cartridges.  The checks are being sent to Chaffee and then deposited into the Jaycee account.

Membership VP (Erin):
-The donut breakfast brought out several Jaycees.  We expect to have another call night in the middle of October.  If interested in helping, please contact Joanne or Erin.
