Biographical / Historical
The Iowa City Jay-C-Ettes was a social and philanthropic club for the wives of Iowa City Jaycees members. The Jay-C-Ettes supported the Jaycees through joint projects such as helping with the Fourth of July Food Booth, and an annual wrapping of Christmas presents for needy children. The Jay-C-Ettes were involved in civic activities such as bake sales, rummage sales, and an annual Style Show and Card Party to raise money for charities. Social activities of the club included bridge parties and visits to other regional
Jay-C-Ettes groups. The Iowa City Jay-C-Ettes hosted the regional conference in 1965, and the clubs’ members held state office positions within the Iowa Jay-C-Ettes organization. The Iowa City Jay-C-Ettes had thirty-two members in 1964, and 20 members two years later.
