Hi Room 300 Families, This is Nia Barr-Jeffrey's dad, Anthony.  Hopefully you are viewing this post using the new Google Groups features so you can see all the graphics in this message.   I'm sending this message to let everyone know about a great upcoming event that will be family friendly fun, great information, community support, free Fran's chocolates, and a chance to win a brand new Xbox 360.   Additionally, as a long time member of the University Family YMCA and branch board member, I have been wanting to pull together a 2nd/3rd Grade Dad's and Kids "Y Guides Circle" group for a while and if you are interested the Sunday night event would be a great time to connect.  Please take a look below and hit me up on my main email account aebje...@spu.edu if you have questions.  Thanks and hope to see some of you on Sunday at the Microsoft Store!

Join us and be inspired by stories of how the Y and our neighbors are uniting to support local schools and our community during these challenging economic times.   See something truly special… At this exciting premiere event, not only will you get to see amazing stories and meet those profiled, you’ll see their meaningful work through the eyes of our young citizens, children who participate in the YMCA’s Community Learning Center at Eckstein Middle School. With the support and guidance of YMCA youth directors and Microsoft Store volunteers, these students have filmed and edited these stories especially for you. They’ve created a powerful film sure to reinvigorate your own commitment to contributing to the well-being of our community.   And learn what’s on the horizon for the University Family Y! After the premiere and panel discussion, we’re excited to sharing big news about the direction of our Y and how you can be part of our impact, now and in the future.   We look forward to seeing you there,   Steve Lewis   Executive Director University Family YMCA
