Donnie Bennett of Demorest has been selected to serve as the Finance Drive Chairman for the State YMCA of Georgia in Habersham County for 2018. The Finance Drive is currently underway to support the State YMCA program in middle and high schools in Georgia through Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y and Co-ed “Y” Clubs.
“Y” Clubs are leadership development, service-oriented faith-based school clubs for 6th-12th grade students statewide. Members learn by doing. They conduct monthly school and community service projects and participate in a variety of conferences geared towards government education and Christian character.
“Here in Habersham County, we are currently working with some contacts in the schools and community leaders to see the return of active “Y” Clubs in Habersham County Schools,” a YMCA news release states. “We eagerly anticipate the startup of activity at Habersham County Schools in the 2018-2019 school year. All funds collected will go to assist in this effort.”
The State YMCA of Georgia, Inc. was chartered in 1929 to develop leadership skills and a sense of moral and civic responsibility in middle school and high school students throughout the state.
