Jaycee House
dream comes true

“An impossible dream” —
that's what they called a
project launched by the
North Shore Jaycees back in
1975. They were determined
to build a “Jaycee House,” a
home for community groups
and a meeting place for
community organizations.

Bnan Keast and Doug
Hartry of the North Shore
Jaycees took the concept
from a dream and — with
the sod-turning ceremony on
Lillooet Road at the end of

last month — finally turned
itinto a reality.
The project’ could not

have succeeded without the
fantastic success of the
North Shore Jaycees Circus
Fund raising project. The
massive support of the North
Shore Jaycees Circus by the
community at large provided
entertainment for many
underprivileged groups, and
organizations as well as
providing the necessary
project funding.

The project could also not
have succeeded without the
active support of the District

of North Vancouver in
providing the land at a
reasonable cost, and _ the
Provincial Government of

B.C. which provided one-
third of the capital required
for construction.

The theme of Jaycees is
“to build a better man to
