July we will focus on healthcare. Today we have Carol Apinis from Yellow Brick Place joining us.

 

Yellow Brick Place was founded by two cancer survivors, who after going through treatment out of town, realized that our area was in desperate need of a cancer wellness center. Their vision was to provide non-medical support services, free of charge, to cancer survivors and their loved ones along their cancer journey. Such centers exist in Cleveland, Toledo, and Akron, but when you are newly diagnosed, sick, and scared, those places are just too far away.

 

Yellow Brick Place supports and educates cancer patients and those closest to them by providing individual and group services in the tri-county area of Mahonig, Trumbull, and Columbiana Counties. 

 

Free programs include:

Taylor is a graduate of Springfield High School. She would like to thank Bill and the Boardman Rotary for the scholarship. Taylor is a singer, pursuing a career in music. She will be attending Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida in the fall. Bachelor’s degree will be in Recording Arts. Her major will allow her to combine singing and recording arts to boost herself. There are 44 Oscar and Emmy awarded projects just this year alone from graduates and students at Full Sail. A lot of musicians donate back their plaques to the university, and seeing all of them line the halls inspired Taylor.

Thank you to Celeste, Shelly, Sheryl, Shannon, Ted and Bill for all their hardwork to make the President’s Party for Beth Ann such a fun and exciting time! Thank you also to Sheryl and Shawn for the awesome videos for our Paul Harris Fellow recipients!

   

 

Congratulations to Mason Shattuck and Josh Aikens, Paul Harris Fellow Recipients. Both received the recognition at the President’s Party on Friday, June 28th. 

 

Second reading and approval for the following:

 

Youngstown City Schools - $1,500 for Chaney, East and Rayen Early College student athletes to attend a camp (academic or athletic) this summer. 

 

Junior Achievement - $1,500 for JA in a Day program at Glenwood Middle School for 7th graders. The program was well recevied last year and they’ll be implementing it once again.

 

4H - $1,500 was recommended for students in Mahoning County to go to a camp where they learn about college prep (how to get along with a roommate, how to live alone, etc.). Parents will pay half, students will pay the other half. This will fund 15 partial scholarships. It is based on need.
