Our Newsletter Has a New Name: Meet the Contest Winners!

We held a contest among our YWCA staff to name our new newsletter, and we are proud to announce that the following individuals contributed ideas that led to the naming of our newsletter: YWROC ~ Mission Matters. Each winner received a $25 Wegmans Gift Card. A special shoutout to Wegmans for being a 2024 Empowering Women Luncheon Inspiring Partner.
