FLORHAM PARK JAYCEES
P.O. Box 2
Florham Park, NJ 07932
John DiPace, Chapter President
Formed on May 3, 1967, the Florham Park Jaycees have always strived to be a positive and active force in shaping the culture and attractiveness of the Borough of Florham Park in Morris County, New Jersey. Comprised of approximately seventy (70) member families (and growing) in the Florham Park/Morris County area, the Jaycees are a community service and charitable organization of "young" skilled and professional individuals from all walks of life aged 18-50+, who donate their time and resources to the Florham Park area community. Since most of us have families, children and careers, we like to encourage our members to give whatever time that they may have to our many community based activities. Of course, we also have quite a bit of fun during our involvement and welcome you as a member. There are no strange pledging rituals and rights of passage - it also is not an irrevocable lifetime commitment. Just show up at one of our monthly meetings, meet your neighbors and have a slice of pizza with us! The Florham Park Jaycees General Membership meets the second Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. (except July and December) at the American Legion Hall. All meetings are open to prospective members.

The Florham Park Garden Club has beautified many areas in Florham Park. In 1973, the Jaycees and the Florham Park Garden Club contributed funds for the transformation of the Esso gas station to what is now Campfield Garden, located at the corner of Ridgedale Avenue and Columbia Turnpike. Campfield Garden is named in honor of the first family in the area. The Campfields purchased their land directly from the Lenni Lenape Indians. Ongoing civic projects include: maintaining Campfield Garden, Junior Gardener Club, flowers planted at the First Aid Squad, and floral arrangements provided to the library and also to Cheshire Home for the Wall Display.
Meetings are held at the Florham Park Library. If you have any questions please call Patricia Lindridge-Ingber at 973-214-2531 or email her at ifamily1@gmail.com
