In this hands-on, weekly art class you will learn to express yourselves using different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic paint, pencil drawing and more. At The Y, we believe that not only is physical wellness important, but socialization and an active mind are also keys to a healthy and happy lifestyle. We invite you to share your talents or come and discover your creative side while experiencing the therapeutic benefits of art.

The first project will be a collage. We encourage participants to bring photos, trinkets, or anything they’d like to use to personalize their creation.

Donations of Food and Fleece will be accepted January 16-20, 2012 at all local YMCA locations.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?”’  Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday (January 16^th) to serve their neighbors and communities.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the 60 AmeriCorps members at the YMCA of Cass and Clay Counties will be holding their annual “Food and Fleece” Drive.  Donations of food and fleece will be accepted at all YMCA locations during the week of January 16-20, 2012.  The fleece will be made into blankets and donated, along with food collected, to local shelters.

The AmeriCorps members will also be participating in various service projects during the week at the New Life Center. For additional information on this project or to get involved, please call Heidi Dittmer, YMCA Volunteer Program Assistant, at 701-364-4134.
