The gala also serves as the chapter’s annual Past Presidents Night, at which candidates for the 2016 board of directors will be announced. Other special features include a 75th anniversary photo presentation, display of Salisbury Jaycees memorabilia and silent auction.

Founded in 1940, the Salisbury Jaycees are a community service, social and leadership training organization for men and women ages 18-40 on the Eastern Shore. The chapter is the longest serving in Maryland, and one of the longest serving in the U.S. and worldwide. Earlier this year, Salisbury was named among the nation’s top 10 chapters by Jaycees parent organization JCI USA.
