…from your hometown Jaycees!

Welcome! Active in the Foxboro community since 1961, we are a dynamic, enthusiastic volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life through community development projects while growing the skills of our members and providing an opportunity to make lifelong friendships.

We provide civic service through the organized efforts of the people of the community and promote the welfare of Foxboro and its citizens through active, constructive projects.

We make friends. We learn managerial, project, and people skills. We grow. We help people. We make our community better and have a lot of fun along the way!

Interested in joining? Email us, call, or attend our meetings.

We chose the book Man in the Woods by Scott Spencer. Here is a book description from Amazon. One of the most acclaimed modern American novelists, Scott Spencer captures the intensity of human passion—and its capacity to both destroy and redeem—with unparalleled precision and insight. Now, in his most stunning novel yet, this wry, witty, and deeply sensitive writer returns to the territory of his New York Times bestseller A Ship Made of Paper, in a gripping and provocative psychological thriller of morality and manhood, choice and fate. That meeting will be on February 15th, please let me know if you think you can host the meeting.

The Foxboro Jaycees will be holding our second annual Spring Fair on the Foxboro Common on Saturday, May 19, 2012. The event will be free to the public and open from 9:00am to 3:00pm. We are inviting crafters, artists and vendors to set up exhibits on the Common and would like to offer you the opportunity to join us. Please see the attached registration form for more information. I look forward to hearing from you! Heather Loew — Foxboro Jaycees508-543-1854

During winter, we deliver buckets of sand/salt to home-bound seniors to keep their walkways slip-free.

To arrange for a delivery, a senior need only give Mohsen Khalifa a call: 508-543-2621.

The Jaycees are very happy to provide this service to our senior friends all

One of our most popular and enjoyable individual development projects, Scat Night returns thanks to Dave and Monica Fisler! Dave is chairing this great event, which will be held at the Fisler’s on Saturday night February 25. Bring some quarters (and BYOB) and get ready for an incredibly enjoyable, laugh-filled night of cards, fun, and friendship!  Please contact Dave or Monica if you would like to bring some food or goodies.

Trivia Night at the Foxboro Piccadilly Pub is a great way to socialize with Jaycees and friends!  Meet at 6pm for appetizers; Dan’s “Game On Trivia” trivia starts at 7. This is a relaxing and very fun evening as we get to see which of us stores the most useless knowledge. This is a group trivia contest so don’t worry if you don’t know what a cordwainer is, who played #9 for the Red Sox, where Zdeno Chárawas born, what NASCAR stands for, or the original name of the Blue Hills.   Somebody in the group probably does, and if not, the guesses are hilarious.  There are a lot of laughs and team Jaycee has won several times. Join us for the fun!
