I just left the CYCA office where I was able to get my dogs’ photos taken with Santa and see our Community Director, Kristan Huntley, in an elf costume – best $10 I’ve spent in a while! Do I feel bad about taking my stinky, geriatric pups in there without giving them a bath first? [...]

How to motivate volunteers The second CY Regional Beerfest has come and gone, and at the risk of insulting a long list of extraordinary volunteers, I am convinced that the Beerfest Committee may be the most dedicated and efficient CYCA committee I’ve ever seen.

By June Hurt I am pleased to report that Wonder Woman’s run for the LampLighter was an overall success. Along the race route, I collected some modest donations, a few jello shots, and two marriage proposals. I managed to survive the run without any wardrobe malfunctions or major injuries, and most of my dignity remained intact. [...]

This month I’d like to share an actual conversation between me and Tyler, my 12-year-old stepson. Tyler: “Why are you running so much lately? You hate running.” Me: “I’m training for the CY Festival Friday 4 Miler next month. I’m running it dressed in a Wonder Woman costume to raise money for the LampLighter.” Tyler: [...]

After a year of serving already, I would like to say thank you for officially voting me in as your CYCA Vice President a couple months ago. I can’t wait to get started on……Pardon me, what was that? John did what? He’s where? I’m what? In case you are unaware, our former President, John Kinsey, [...]

Change is always upon us – seasons, times, fashions, and opportunities. For me there has been a recent change in employment opportunity, which means that for the CYCA, there is a change in leadership. It’s with sadness that I resign as CYCA President as I move to a new city. It seems like only yesterday [...]

Thank you to everyone who donated items, volunteered, attended, bid, and purchased art at last month’s Art for Art’s Sake Auction. The event was a rousing success with over $13,000 raised to fund maintenance for the Trestle Art as well as other community enhancement projects. We are truly blessed to have such support in CY [...]

This is going to be an exciting month for Cooper-Young! On April 9, from 6–9:30pm at Young Avenue Deli, the CYCA will host the Art for Art’s Sake Auction. It’s a great time to get out, see some friends, have a beer, and get some great local art for a low (unless someone is bidding [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have never been so excited to see the pages of the calendar turn to March. Although this time of the year means windy days, I’m more than happy to have wind versus snow and ice. After a winter like this maybe we should pick up the neighborhood and [...]
