cindy curtisGreetings Community Members!

Can you believe it’s already June? May was a whirlwind of excitement, laughter and a few mischievous moments. So grab your reading glasses, because we’re about to take you on a hilarious journey through all the shenanigans that went down in our JCI world.

Monthly Chat Chill: The “Include Everyone Project” swooped in like a superhero to join our Chat Chill last month. We extend a big thank you to our guest speakers, Kristen De Benedetto, Rodney Dong, and Kate White.

Mad Hatter Music Bash: We put on our finest hats and snacked the night away at the Mad Hatter Music Bash. This sensational event showcased the Santa Clarita Symphony Orchestra, a newly minted non-profit dedicated to filling our ears with symphonic sweetness. Plus, we managed to raise some serious funds for our local JCI Foundation and the Santa Clarita Symphony Orchestra. Talk about hitting the right note for a good cause!

City Hall Tour with Santa Clarita Mayor Jason Gibbs: We had the privilege of invading the sacred halls of City Hall, all thanks to our gracious host, Mayor Jason Gibbs. He not only provided us with an exclusive tour but also claimed it was his first-ever tour guide gig. Mayor Gibbs, you were fantastic! We promise not to mention the secret hiding spot we found in the mayor’s office. Oops!

Santa’s Helpers: Drumroll, please! Our signature event, Santa’s Helpers, is gearing up for action. The first committee meeting has already taken place, and the excitement is contagious. If you’re looking to spread some holiday cheer or simply want to be a part of the merry madness, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Taste of the Town and Hoedown for Hope: Our volunteers hit the streets with gusto last month, making a difference and having a great time while doing it. A huge thank you to all the dedicated volunteers who joined us, making Taste of the Town and Hoedown for Hope a resounding success.

Double Trouble Social: Our monthly social at Double Trouble was double the fun! We reunited with some of our amazing JCI alumni. It was a night of laughter and camaraderie.

And that’s a wrap on May’s adventures! As we bid adieu to this eventful month, we want to express our sincere gratitude to all the speakers, volunteers and committee members.

Stay tuned for the exciting events coming your way in June! Trust us, you won’t want to miss them!

Yours in Jaycees,

Cindy Curtis

JCI Santa Clarita 2023 President
