The Arlington Jaycees Meetup Group

The Arlington Jaycees are hosting Cornhole and Giant Jenga activities at the Arlington County Fair's new Beer Garden! The Arlington Jaycees have a long history with the Fair, and this year we are introducing this new event! Volunteers are needed to make this event a success so PLEASE RSVP TODAY! We will set up for the event starting at 1:30 pm, play Cornhole and Giant Jenga from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, and then enjoy a beer in the Beer Garden afterwards. During the event, volunteers will show people how to play the games and encourage people to join in the fun. All active Chapter members who volunteer will receive a free drink ticket! The Arlington County Fair is smaller than a traditional County Fair but it is packed with lots of fun things to see and do! And best of all, admission is FREE! Come check out the crafters and other vendors in the air-conditioned gym, taste a wide variety of food including grilled chicken and sausage, deep-fried Oreos and funnel cake, and enjoy the midway rides and games as well as the beer garden (new this year!). Note, there is NO PARKING available on the Fair Grounds! Shuttle Service is available from the Arlington Career Center, I-66 parking garage, Pentagon City Metro Station and Virginia Square Metro Station.

Help prepare meals for Central's Homeless Ministry with other young professionals. Prepping meals takes about 1-1.5 hours. Afterwards, we share a meal together at the church. The church is located at the corner of Fairfax and Stafford across from the Metro and the IHoP. The parking lot and entrance to use is on the back side of the Church. Central's Homeless Ministry meal preparation takes place every Thursday evening, and meals are served to the homeless every Friday morning. The Arlington Jaycees provide volunteers once a month, normally on the second or third Thursday. This event is open to both members and non-members.

This event is both a volunteer opportunity and a fundraiser for the chapter! Volunteers are needed at the Community Garage Sale organized by the Arlington Civitans and held on the first Saturday of each month between April and November. Volunteers assist in tear-down and clean-up after the sale. As a bonus, if you work for 4 hours you may be eligible for a FREE Arlington Jaycees Annual Membership**! Members can also renew their annual membership by volunteering at this event. The Arlington Civitans donate $15 to the Arlington Jaycees for every volunteer hour, providing important funding for memberships and chapter events. The garage sale is held in the Parking Garage located behind Washington - Lee High School. Park on North 15th Street, between Quincy and Stafford Streets. Walk into the parking garage and proceed to the snack bar on Level B. Street parking is available on Quincy St. and on N. 15th St. Please wear work pants, sturdy shoes and work gloves if you have them. Proceeds from the monthly garage sale benefit the Arlington Civitans, a non-profit organization committed to helping people with developmental disabilities.
