Tribute To Our Founder:
|
Jasper W. Morgan
1905 - 1998 |
Our founder & organizer, Jasper W. Morgan, was a
young lawyer from Clinton, Iowa. Jasper felt that the young people of
Clinton didn't have a say in our community's affairs. He felt, and soon found out, that the
"elder-regime" controlled everything that happened in our community.
As Jasper started organizing the young men of Clinton, he received threats
that he would be ran out of town if he continued. Those threats only strengthened his
resolve. He founded and incorporated the Clinton Junior Chamber of
Commerce (The Clinton Jaycees) in 1936, in order to provide the younger men in
our community with a platform to have an impact on our
community's direction.
Jasper was the first president of The
Clinton Jaycees.
His vision, strength, and determination for the young men of Clinton to have a
voice has been passed on through the years. The many Jaycee projects carried out
for the youth, underprivileged, seniors, and the community as a whole is a
true sign that his vision is still alive.
Because of his efforts, The Clinton
Jaycees has long served as a launch pad for many of the "movers and
shakers" of our community.
Thank you Jasper.
