							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

			 To the editor:Our organization has been serving the community as 
			a local chapter of the Jaycees for the past 60 years. Over the last 
			several years we have seen membership decline and have been 
			struggling to complete our community projects. We have decided to 
			discontinue our affiliation with the Jaycees. Moving forward we hope 
			to keep our organization going with a new name and a new mission 
			which would still include serving the local community through some 
			of our current projects along with some new ones. This would also 
			allow us to open up our membership to a wider age group and dedicate 
			more of our resources locally.

            We would like to thank every past member of our organization, every 
			volunteer, every community member, and every business who has 
			contributed in some way over the past 60 years which has allowed us 
			to accomplish so many amazing things!
