Members of the Jasons served in all branches of the military during World War Two and most got married and moved away from the neighborhood after the war's end. But the Jasons' continued to host annual picnics and charity fundraisers for another fifty years, reflecting the significant role the youth clubs like the Jasons and the dozens of others in Boyle Heights played in cultivating community in the neighborhood.
