We know Johnston is a growing community. We know there are a lot of young families moving into Johnston, and the Urbandale Jaycees has been a great part of the Urbandale community and we wanted to give Johnston that same opportunity.

If you live or work in Johnston, it'd be a great opportunity to get more involved in the community.

The unique thing about Jaycees vs. some other groups is that the Jaycees are primarily solely responsible for everything from the idea generation all the way through the execution and the evaluation. The reason we do that is a lot of young professionals have great potential, but in their day-to-day business life aren't truly given the opportunity to lead projects. This is the way to help them get that experience.

Awareness is probably the biggest challenge we've had.

It's just a part of our community, a big part of our community.

It really hasn't worked for the developer or for the community.
