Wednesday, July 29, 2009

XRKADE, the new program unveiled by the YMCA of Clay County, was officially opened to the public Wednesday, in part, to help combat obesity in children, which according to a study conducted by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has drastically increased during the past 25 years. Those participating in the ribbon cutting include (front row, from left) Vice President of the YMCA Board of Directors Andrea Baysinger, YMCA Board President David Wright, Common Council of the City of Brazil (At-Large) President Pat Heffner, Brazil Mayor Ann Bradshaw, Clay County Commissioner/YMCA Board Member Paul Sinders, YMCA Executive Director Chad Zaucha, (second row) Clay County Chamber of Commerce President Phil Redenbarger, Chamber Board Member Toni Carter, YMCA Board Member Diana Lancaster, YMCA Board Member Arlene Meyers, Chamber Board Member Kenny Crabb, (back row) Chamber and YMCA Board Member Kim Emmert O'Dell and Chamber Board Member Lynne Llewellyn.
