Your generous donation of $250 is much appreciated.  We have increased our numbers to as many as 17 kids per night.  Of course, sometimes it sounds like twice as many.

We are helping more kids with their homework, and we are having short sessions with them about behavior such as: Bullying, self-esteem, and showing respect for others.  Although we only have these kids for 2 hours twice a week, during the school year, we hope that we are planting some seeds for good citizenship.

We do leave plenty of time for computers and the Wii, and they do love their snacks.

As you know we do depend on donations to support us through the school year, so we are very grateful for your donation.

Thankfully,
Coralee Judge
Board Member

This season of YSL at the Clinton County Family YMCA was a great season with just about 155 children participating on 17 teams in four different leagues.  YMCA Youth Sports owes a lot of thanks to those who have helped us during this Fall season.  First we would like to thank our volunteer coaches, also the Youth Sports Referees, and of course the parents whos spent countless hours on the sidelines cheering the teams on.  But most of all we would like to thank you, our sponsors.  Without our sponsors our programs would lack the extra support that makes the experience awesome for the children.

So on behalf of the children, parents, and coaches, YMCA Youth Sports would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us offer  a meaningful Youth Sports experience to the children of our community.

Respectfully yours,
Nathan Crabtree
