At last week's meeting held at Hotel on North, Club Foundation president Jeff Hassett presented YMCA president Jess Rumlow with a check for $5,000 in support of the Y's extensive renovations. Following the meal and presentation, Jess led members across the street to the Y for a tour of the renovated facility, which is nothing short of spectacular. Congratulations to Jess and her team for an outstanding job.
