Show 5 Thursday, November 15, 1979 Jaycee Women Take It To Heart r The purpose of the Jaycee Women, slates the handbook of the nation-wide organization, organiza-tion, is to foster leadership qualities in women and to be a service to the community. Park City's Jaycee Women have taken that directive to heart, much more so than the other duties of the national and state women's jaycees which tend to describe de-scribe themselves as an auxiliary to the Jaycee Men. "We first formed because we felt a crying need for a social service group that Park City women could join," says the group's president Fran Johnson. "The Park City Jaycee Women could tap into any number of national and state jaycee projects, but at this point we prefer to be involved in just local efforts." ef-forts." Marlene Ligare who served as the group's president until serving up Marshall Ligare this fall, adds: "We haven't told the state organization that we've formed, so we've yet to be chartered. Most of us in the group are very busy and have little time for the state functions that charter-ship charter-ship demands; instead we focus our energy toward the local community." Starting with this liberated premise, the women formed into a group in May from a core of eight, most of whom had husbands in the Park City Jaycee Men. Indepen-dant Indepen-dant from the start, the women decided not to be an auxiliary group serving "brownies and coffee" to the Jaycee Men. Member Shay Clegg convinced con-vinced the group that their first project should be to help raise seed money for an infant and preschool education educa-tion program for handicapped handi-capped children in Summit County. "The Governor's Developmental Develop-mental Disability Council District Office Sold The Park City School board voted at their regular meeting meet-ing Tuesday night to sell their old district office at 301 Main Street. Seven contenders had signaled sig-naled the board that they may submit bids but when the deadline passed on Tuesday only one bid had been submitted. That bid, from a group of four investors in-vestors brokered by Gump and Ayers, was for $92,500 $4,000 of that total would be forwarded in earnest money and the balance paid on January 20, 1980. The old district office comprised com-prised half the building that is now occupied by Meyer Gallery. The gallery owns the other half and had been leasing the school district's space for display purposes. The new owners of the district office promised to honor the Meyer lease until June 6, 1980. In other business, the board voted to add $2,350 in district money to $3,000 in benefit funds collected at the Middle School Halloween Carnival and the Bartender's Cup Tennis Tournament for the purchase of new stage curtains cur-tains for the Middle School Auditorium. A purchase order for the new curtains was sent out by the school district office Wednesday morning.

"The enrollment is somewhat some-what low right now but there is a definite need for a program of this type in Summit County," says SCDDI instructor Dyer, adding, add-ing, "I think a lot of programs like this have growing pains until they are established and we do have community support."
