Black and White Night for the Jaycees

It was definitely a swinging soiree when the JCI-Zugbuanas (an all female chapter) and the Metro Cebu Uptown Jaycees (an all male chapter) got together last September 22 to co-host a fellowship night for their respective members.  The fun started with dinner at the Grand Majestic Restaurant, followed by lots of activities like freestyle group painting and acquaintance games.  Around 40 members from both chapters came for the black-and-white party, which was organized by the 2007 JCI-Zugbuana P.R.O. Golda King for the purpose of forging new friendships and partnerships between both groups as they begin planning joint projects for the coming year.  Aside from being sister chapters, the Metro Cebu Uptown Jaycees is the club that founded JCI-Zugbuana in 1991 through the initiative of its Past President, JCI Sen. Jun Lim.

The Junior Chamber International, more popularly known as the Jaycees, is an international organization aimed towards the development of business and civic leaders.  Their main areas of focus include individual development, business or entrepreneurship, community awareness and international relations. 

The JCI chapters in the Philippines are also gearing up for their National Convention slated on October 11 to 14 at the Cebu International Convention Center.  Around 1,500 member delegates from all over the country will be participating in this event, which will feature seminars on leadership, entrepreneurship, franchising, a business forum, trade fairs and badminton, bowling and karting events. 

Later this year, the Zugbuana Jaycees will be launching their “Women for Women” fashion event at the Waterfront Hotel, featuring Cebu’s best-known society ladies adorning the catwalk in clothes by top designers, all united for a cause to raise funds to support cancer victims, and spread cancer awareness among women.  The show will be on December 1.
