First of all...thanks to Melanie Harris from YCR2 who told the amazing story of the development of their capacity to service youth with disabilities so these youth...also...can ride a bicycle. This recent story began with a small YCR2 event at Broxton Park School in the spring of 2015. The event and the mission of YCR2 captured the hearts and minds of several of our Rotarian's. A couple of months later with an amazing video and a Lobsterfest cash appeal..we raised over $82 500.00!! Then...through our network a connection was made with Goodwill Industries and the partnership with YCR2 and Goodwill began. The results...in terms of the ability of YCR2 to serve those in need has grown significantly!! Thanks to all those who contributed to this amazing story... Upcoming 1. Thursday, Oct. 12th. Membership Update, Krista Mastaler 2. Thursday, Oct. 19th. Membership discussion, Lobsterfest, 25th Anniversary...moving forward. 3. Thursday, Oct. 26th. Visitation, FCSS Youth Services, Log Cabin.

The unveiling will be followed by lunch at the Porto Romano Italian Restaurant at 12:30 followed by a short presentation at 1:00 by Dr. Doug Klein, sponsor and developer of youth programs provided at the Log Cabin this past summer.
