Let's Eat Cake!
Dustin Clark works for the Dayton Teen Center while he's in college and goes home for summers. When Dustin returned the new school year, he was met by a group of teens who had created a large hand made poster as well as two chocolate cakes which read, "Welcome Back!" Anyone who works with teens can affirm that when they take the time to bake you two cakes and make a poster, that's a huge compliment! (Titus added "Please note that the teens did all of this on their own initiative") Wow!

  
 

Know any history buffs?
Looking for history buffs who've got a thing for Abe Lincoln. Jennifer Henderson is working on a proposal for Ryland Heights in conjunction with Kentucky Arts Council and she'd love to connect with someone who's got a passion for this part of our history. Love for the railroad would be a plus too. So if you know that person, please have them contact JHenderson@CincinnatiYMCA.org! Thanks!
