Gateway
After Prom Casino

Jaycee Paul Roth plays "WAR" with Prom party goers. |
The
Gateway After Prom is an
annual event in the Clinton Area held in early May. This event is
designed as an alternative place for students from Clinton High School,
Camanche High School, and Fulton High School to go after their proms are
finished. The Clinton Jaycees helps in organizing this event along
with many people from the community. At the event the Clinton Jaycees
provide Blackjack & Chuck-A-Luck.

The Clinton
Jaycees hold the annual Big Buddy Campout in the month of August. This
project is directed at the underprivileged boys in the surrounding community.
It offers the chance for approximately 15 to 20 young boys to go camping at no
expense. The Clinton Jaycees provide all materials needed such as tents and
food. They also provide the kids a chance to go fishing, paddle boating, canoeing,
swimming, and hiking. The event begins on a Saturday morning and ends in the early
afternoon on Sunday. The rain location is the Lyon's Train Depot.

Hershey's Track &
Field
Jaycee Joe Leonard starts the kids in the
100 meter dash. |
With a
beautiful May Sunday afternoon, this is an event not to miss. The Clinton
Department of Parks and Recreation and the Clinton Jaycees sponsors this event.
Participants are of the ages from five through fourteen years. It’s a thrill to
see them victorious in events of a 50-meter dash through the 1600 meter run. The
efforts in the softball throws and the standing long jumps are nothing to stand in the way
of. The potential of a state qualification is possible for the 9-14 year olds. This
event typically attracts around 200 youths and as proud parents in the stands can attest,
the smile on a child’s face as ribbons are received, is one of the best rewards of
life. |
Pepsi Baseball
Challenge
Jaycee Brad Wendell helps with the softball throw. |
The Clinton
Jaycee Hit, Run, & Throw is a baseball skills competition for kids between the ages of

Sandbox Fill
Jaycee Kory Paukner poured a fresh
sandbox for a very "patient" youngster. |
The Clinton
Jaycees sandbox fill is an annual project done to help our local children. Two to
three weeks prior to the event ads are placed in the Clinton Herald asking families to
request a fill up to their sandbox. The Clinton Jaycees take orders for up to fifty
sandbox fills and up to seven tractor tire deliveries. The donations of sand and
tires from our sponsors (Quality Ready Mix
Concrete Co. and Tandem
Tire & Service),
help make this project possible. |
Santa's Calling
|
Santa checks in on one
of our local children. |
Christmas is
such a busy time of the year for Santa Claus that he has called on the Clinton Jaycees to
help him personally touch the youth of Clinton, Camanche, and Fulton by
making a list of good boys & girls for him to call a few weeks before Christmas.
These personal calls bring much joy and
happiness to the children as well as Santa. |
