Youth News (Nov 4, 2019)

Game night went really well. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and had a chance to get some energy out before another great week. 

Thank you to those who have stepped up by agreeing to volunteer and bring meals. It really takes significant weight off my shoulders. I want to be able to provide the best experience for the youth, and I truly believe that means having everyone lend a hand in some way.  Thank you to those who continue to help week in and week out.
