The recently reorganized Statesboro Jaycees chapter announced its first fundraising effort, a Boston butt sale, to procure funds to help five nonprofit organizations in the community this year. Tickets for placing orders are on sale now through Friday for $35, and the Boston butts will be available Feb. 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Gnat's Landing, 470 S. Main St. The organization has deep roots in Bulloch County, with the original Statesboro Jaycees having been introduced in 1938 by Josh Lanier and officially established with elected officers in January 1939. Contributing much to the community through various projects over the years, the organization's membership declined in the 1990s, and local interest waned.
