Membership in The U.S. Junior Chamber has its privileges! Besides receiving the opportunity to impact your community, your annual membership fee entitles you to:

CAR PURCHASES -- Volvo Cars of North America has arranged to make the 2004 Volvo Special Purchase/Lease Program available to every Jaycee who has been a member at least six months. Through this Program, you have the exclusive opportunity to save anywhere from $500 right up to $1,000 on the purchase or lease of a new 2004 Volvo sedan or wagon.

These savings are over and above the best price you can negotiate on a 2004 Volvo with your local Volvo retailer after taking full advantage of any retail incentives that might be offered at the time of purchase. To find out more about this special offer to the Jaycees logon to: www.volvoprogram.com and type in the Jaycee access code AppLed3 (case sensitive) in the “New Users” window. Follow the instructions from there for a complete description of the Volvo Special Purchase/Lease Program, a list of eligible vehicles and their respective allowances (i.e., savings), all terms and conditions, and a downloadable Check Request Form that you will need if you decide to take part in this program.
