SPECIAL THANKS!!!
Hearts for Youth would like to send out a special thank you to Dean Erck, Gayle Hunneyman, and Laura Swanson for their years of commitment to the Hearts for Youth Executive Board. It was with regret that the Executive Board accepted the resignations of Dean and Laura. However, they are both remaining on as volunteer Program Coordinators; Dean for baseball and swimming and Laura for soccer. Gayle left the Executive Board to accept a paid position from Hearts for Youth, and she will still volunteers in some of the programs. It is individuals like Dean, Gayle and Laura that are the “Heart” of our organization. Their selfless donation of time and energy has helped Heart for Youth's growth into an organization that offers over 25 different recreational and academic programs to our area youth.
Hearts for Youth needs more individuals like Dean, Gayle, and Laura to help our organization sustain and grow. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or Board member, information packets are available at the Hearts for Youth office. To request a packet, please contact the office at (315) 482-9971 x2130 or at HFY@alexandriacentral.org.
