mYac says ‘thank you’
To the editor:
As we are in the midst of the holiday season, I want to say a deep and sincere word of appreciation for the support and efforts this past year to raise money and work to organize a place for youth in Marion.
The contribution the Marion High School FFA from proceeds at a tailgate party is just another recent example of the way the community and students are working together to help make this happen. Thank you, FFA members.
The second thank you is also an announcement. Central National Bank has generously donated a building at 1220 E. Main St. for use by Marion Advancement Committee. Wow. We think the location is great and the potential is huge. There are a few details still being worked out but we hope to begin remodeling work very soon.
To see how you can be involved, please check out our Facebook page or e-mail me at ajkjellin@gmail.com. Watch for announcements in the newspaper about workdays and progress. This can happen but it needs help and support from middle and high school students, parents, and caring community members.
Now is the time for those of you who have been holding back to really step forward to help us design and implement a youth program that is meaningful, unique, and utilized by the kids in this community. Leadership is needed.
As you think about your resolutions and goals for next year, I hope that you will consider how you might be able to help us. We also so appreciate the donations and work this year, and want to remind you that you can still give deductable donations through Marion Advancement Campaign for this year.
Thank you, Marion.
