The excitement of closing in on year-to-date growth for our organization for the first time in 8 years is in the air and spreading like wildfire! Please remember that these are not just numbers in a spreadsheet. Each of the numbers below represents a person. A person that will be impacted more than they ever thought possible, a person that will help us run projects, raise funds, learn, grow and impact our communities and change our world!
Up-to-date tracker of where we are:
Thursday, October 30th, 2008 our 81st (2005) President, Bob Peacock was  fatally injured in an automobile accident at age 37. It is impossible to convey the impact that Bob had on our members in any written document and equally impossible to describe the vast hole that his absence will leave in our organization as well as in our hearts. He impacted too many members, people, and communities to even begin to count.
Bob took advantage of every opportunity that the Jaycees, and life offered him, and gave back everything that he could and then some.
Please feel free to leave a note, favorite memory or story on the message board. Remembering the good times we had with Bob are what must help us through this incredibly difficult time. The details about the arrangements can also be found on the message board.
God Bless you Bob Peacock, we will miss you.
