Esteemed Alumni and Awards
We believe that men who go above and beyond for our organization should be recognized. We appreciate and celebrate all that they have done and continue to do for the Gainesville Jaycees.
2023 Awards and Installations Banquet
Each January, we close the books on the current administration’s term with the Awards and Installations Banquet. At this banquet we recognize the outstanding Jaycees who have excelled in the previous year and install the incoming officers and directors.
