Policy Maker's Breakfast


Our GYC members don't sleep in on Saturday...instead they like to host a breakfast for the policy maker's in our community. On January 10, the GYC was pleased to present to 1 senator, 3 representatives, and 1 mayor regarding their mission and activities for this year. They discussed their interest in smoke free beach and park policies. They expressed the need for recreational areas to be a place where people can spend leisure time and not have to be exposed to harmful carcinogens, such as secondhand smoke. Overall, it was a great success and everyone learned a lot!

GYC heads to the capitol



On February 23, 2009, the GYC visited the state capitol. There they met with Rep Fred Hunsaker, Rep Ronda Menlove, Rep Curt Webb, and Rep Jack Draxler. They toured the capitol and learned more about the legislative process.
