Saturday, February 9th at BWB Elementary School: We will have a table at the Healthy Family Fair sponsored by the FUN network and CC Child Development. We need volunteers to help with this.

As always, everyone is always welcome to join our weekly Hyannis Supporting Our Youth meetings at 6pm in the United Cultures Room at the HYCC. If you are looking for more ways to become involved, help with special events or have skills in fundraising or accounting, we'd love to have your input. We are all volunteers so the more the better!
