THANK YOU YWCA GLI PROGRAM & NCCF
We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the YWCA of Westfield and specifically their Girls Leadership Initiative program, as well as the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation program for donating $500 to the Westfield Rec Dept’s Welch Field summer program!
A special thank you to Westfield’s own Isabella Kurtz (pictured) and Nora Robinson for recommending the Rec Dept to be the recipient of this mini-grant award as part of their entrepreneurship project!!
We would also like to thank YWCA Board President Kathryn Bronstein, YWCA Board Vice President Beth Patri, YWCA Executive Director Stephanie Stevens, YWCA GLI Program Director Bonnie Hartley, NCCF Ralph C. Wilson Jr Rural Philanthropy Fellow Jeannie Gallaway, and NCCF Community Engagement Coordinator Leslie Wille!
It was such a blessing to not only receive this mini-grant award, but to attend a meeting of the GLI to hear about the impact the community of Westfield and the Rec Dept has had on their lives. We really appreciate the Girls Leadership Initiative as well as the collaboration between our three organizations.
This donation will greatly benefit our ability to provide a high quality summer program for our local youths!
