Channel 5’s Chronicle filmed the Oak Square Y

We had an exciting afternoon at the Y today. Channel 5’s Chronicle news team stopped by to learn more about our Y’s impact in the community as part of a story showcasing all the big things happening across Brighton. They interviewed our Youth & Family Director Doug Teixeira who has lived in Brighton his whole life and got some terrific live shots of some of our programs in action. I’ll be sure to send out a note before the episode airs in January.

Gift Wrapping Presents at the Y
Next Tuesday, December 19, from 2:00-4:00pm we are inviting staff and Y friends to help us wrap over 100 gifts that were generously donated to our Y for us to distribute to local families in need. Please come down and enjoy some festive cheer and help us to bring some holiday magic to our afterschool and Y program families this season. Please let me know if you’re interested in joining us!
