Most Jaycee-Ette organizations are all-female auxiliaries to the all-male Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce) with the primary purpose of being of assistance to the Jaycees and with membership limited to the wives of Jaycees members. The Stuart Jaycee-Ettes rejected these limitations and operated under their own charter. The Jaycee-Ettes completed many fund-raising projects to benefit many charitable causes, including hosting dances, conducting the "Miss Music" beauty contest (1949-1950), and hosting the Halloween Costume Gala (c. 1955-1960). They provided equipment and funding for the hospital and schools, offered scholastic medals to high school juniors with the highest standing, organized visits from Santa and Christmas parades (1955-1960), improved the Civic Center, and also participated in many other service activities. The organization existed at least through 1963. In 1984, the national Jaycee-Ettes ceased to exist when the Jaycees began to admit women. Collections includes photographs of Jaycee-Ette activities donated to Stuart Heritage by Floretta Bartlett (1911-2004), who was the first president of the Jaycee-Ettes, and a civic leader, historian, and Martin County's first female tax collector (1962-1964). She was a very active volunteer with the Martin County Library Association and Stuart Heritage.
