Thank You for Participating in the Kenneth Young Center   Walk for Mental Health and Senior Services         Saturday May 11, 2013     We would like to thank all walkers, volunteers, sponsors and supporters of the 2013 Kenneth Young Center Walk for mental health and senior services which was held on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at Busse Woods. Although the skies were overcast, the enthusiasm of all in attendance brought sunshine to the day. Over 350 walkers were present. Final totals are not in but we anticipate reaching our financial goal!       Take a look at our Walk page to get all of the details about this very popular event.       We're Looking For A Few Good Volunteers   Our resale shop, staffed by volunteers, is very important to us. All net proceeds go directly to support our local community mental health and senior service programs. Had it not been for the shop’s revenue contributions, some of these programs may have been dropped due to extreme budget cuts in both state and federal funding.   We need reliable people to help us with 3-hour shifts to:   Provide cashier and customer service. Sort donations and price items. Arrange and display merchandise. Keep the store clean, tidy, and neat.   Ask a cashier for details or fill out an application at the resale shop. Or contact Colette Young at 847.524.8800 x182 or colettey@kennethyoung.org.       We Need Your Help! Contact Your Senator Today!   The state has been very slow in providing reimbursements. This has a direct effect on Kenneth Young Center. We need your help in contacting your elected officials about this situation. View our Legislative Advocacy page for more information.       Upcoming Events   Saturday, 6/1/13 KYC Resale Shop's Sidewalk Sale and Dean's Icecream giveway Thursday, 6/6/13: CBT With Trauma and PTSD
