A New Home!

ALMOST DONE! The Sewing Club will have a new home!. After a painting/cleaning session last Friday, the room is starting to take shape…. Furniture/shelving  has been cleaned, two coats of primer applied… This space will be shared with the exercise class, for storage of their equipment.

Starting in mid-August through mid-September, YAH will be asking participants to complete the Annual Survey. 

This survey is very critical in helping the Leadership Teams know what our participants are experiencing… are the offerings helping you mentally, physically, emotionally? Would you like other activities offered? Do you have suggestions to improve our programming?  In the future our Senior Millage Eligibility is in part determined by the outcomes of these surveys. Please take a few minutes to complete and offer us insights into your experience.
