I I "IT PEMBROKE JAYCEE CLUBHOUSE BURNS AGAIN Frankie's Family Steakhouse Helps in Time of Trouble The Pembroke Jaycee Clubhouse burned Friday, February 10, 1984. It was a loss not only to the members of the Jaycee organization, but also to Pem broke and surrounding communities. The Jaycees had planned a Valentine's Dance for Saturday, February 11, 1984. After expenses of the dance were paid, a donation was to be made to the family of a child who is suffering from a long-term terminal illness. The donation was to help with the mounting medical expen ses facing the family. On Saturday morning, members of the Jaycee Club received calls from indi viduals who had purchased tickets asking that their money be returned. Realizing initial expenditures had already been made and could not be returned, members of the club began a search for a place to accomodate the planned party. Several places were sighted, but in the end Frankie s Family Steakhouse and Seafood (formerly Revels' Fish Camp) was chosen. Frankie and Elsie Locklear offered to close their business, allowing time for the Jaycees and Jaycettes to decorate and prepare for the dance. They also offered the place rent-free to the Jaycees as well as bearing the expenses for some refreshments. The kindness and concern for our plight as an organization is something that can never be repaid to Frankie and Elsie. They offered us a chance to cut our loss by sharing it with us and supporting us throughout the day of struggling to make an 8 p.m. deadline. We, the Jaycees and Jaycettes thank you Frankie and Elsie. And to all our friends and supporters we ask you to go by and thank them for their concern and generosity.
