This year’s end of the year party was a remarkable success! It fell on Friday June16th with 121 youth attending! We had many of our traditional specials such as photo booth, indoor jumpy, lawn games, face painting, slushies, senior staff gifts and awards superlatives and water slide jumpy! This year, we also added a door raffle prize for the kids to choose one of two prizes to enter to win. We would like to thank Nick Valorie who attended our Golf Tournament Fundraiser and was the recipient of a raffle prize but decided to donate it back to the center for a youth to win! We also had part time staff member, Iliana, instruct her dance group to perform their routine for registered after-school members and staff at the party! We are so grateful to Mishelle of Milford TV and her team for attending and filming the dance and award ceremony, so parents, friends and family are also able to view it (for video, click here). 
Finally, we were so happy to award two graduating seniors our MYC Scholarship/Grant Award, as well as announcing the creation of a second scholarship opportunity, that the Youth Commission added in honor of dedicated, long time board member and volunteer, Sandy Caproni. The scholarship was named the “Sandra Caproni Good Citizen Award.” The recipients of the three scholarships were: Lauren Handley-Bucchino, Ashlynn Ringo and Guymonley Saintyl. Thank you to Sandy, who drove from New Hampshire to present the scholarship! Thank you also to our Board Members, John and Darlene Dulude for attending as well as volunteers: Kyle Hobson, Gail Jussaume, Christine Mancini and Earl Wilson!
