The Merry Men of JCI
Happy, outgoing, and all in. When we serve, we give it our best — and when we celebrate the brotherhood, we give everything too. That's the Merry Men way.
We call ourselves the “Merry Men” because we believe that creating positive change should be meaningful and enjoyable. Our organization brings a sense of fun, brotherhood, and enthusiasm to all our initiatives.
We celebrate, all out.
Inductions, fellowship nights, trivia nights, pickleball — because a brotherhood that plays together serves together.
This Is How We Do It.
