The Bellingham Jaycees or Bellingham Junior Chamber of Commerce (BJCC) was a community-minded organization that had a varying number of members and committees. The records document several organizational activities including the Blossomtime Parade, Jaycee Week, and Old Timers Night. The BJCC was especially active around Christmas, and in 1948 and 1949 made bids to raise the "World's Tallest Christmas Tree." The records are arranged chronologically in the form of scrapbooks.
