St. Peters Jaycees

The St. Peters Jaycees hosted a fundraising event and donated a check that allowed for the team to pay to send a student to the Kansas City Regional. The Jaycees are a local community service organization that also provided some organizational support, in that the team now models the Jaycees' - Chairman Planning Guide or CPG. The CPG is a guideline for how to document a project and to provide details about projects the team completes, so that the information will be gathered and stored for the next year. With a CPG, a chairperson might change, but it gives an overview of how a project was run in the past, and what suggestions or modifications were made to the original plan. It is a great tool that we have incorporated in our business plan.
