Happy New Year from YLS!
The YLS steering committee has hit 2010 running -making plans for upcoming events and setting goals for the year ahead. We are approximately 360 members strong and growing as we continue to raise overall awareness of YLS in the community. Because of your support and enthusiasm, we accomplished much over the past year. During the 2009-10 campaign, YLS has already raised an astounding $350,335 in contributions to United Way! Those dollars are critical resources to providing basic needs, medical care, job training and more for community members, who are the most in need especially during these hard economic times.
YLS strives to provide members with a variety of opportunities to get involved in the community, build professional skills and create change. We hope you attend at least one YLS event this spring, from the volunteer events at the St. Patrick’s Day Race and the UPS Tug-a-Plane, to the financial planning and networking professional development events, or our members only Cocktails and Conversations evening with De Tocqueville members.
If you would like to get even more involved, let us know. We are currently working to nominate individuals onto the YLS Steering Committee for the June 2010-May 2011 year. Please contact either Emily or Kristie directly for more information: Emily.Brady@cnsg.com or 233.2452 or Kristie.Cross@PalmettoHealth.org or 296-3601.
