While the chapter is excited for 2018, they have much to be proud of in the past year. Members of the chapter attended the Illinois Jaycee Year End General Assembly this past weekend, where the chapter and individual members were nominated for numerous awards.

2017 Hamel Area Jaycee President, Nate Ciskowski reflected on the past year, “We had a great year with the 2017 board and also as a chapter. We were very productive in putting on various projects, and we were privileged to be able to donate a lot back into the community. The local community has become very accepting of the Hamel Area Jaycees in the year of 2017. I hope the best of luck to Bret and his 2018 board. As we like to say in the chapter, “Hamel here!”
