Review Correspondent KAYSVILLE Arriving late for the scheduled 7 p.m. meet- ing, Joan Harrison, national president of the Jaycee Women, put her audience at ease. I always show up late because the local president is always nervous and already has an audience when I get here, said Ms. Harrison. Coming from New Fairfield, Connecticut, Ms. Harrison has spent most of her year as president traveling around the United 38 states. : ; , The western states are quite different from the eastern states. In Connecticut it takes just two hours and ten minutes to drive from one end of the state to the other, she explained. We have learned to be leaders and to motivate women, but one of the things we havent learned is to get along, to leave petty things alone. She told the local Jaycee Women tha.t the national membership record would be broken this year. We can be everything we want to be. Its not enough to be right! You have to convince people without hitting them over the head, she said. She explained that she was proud that the former JCKs had changed their name to Jaycee Women.
