Last night's community meet and greet event was enjoyed by all. It provided great opportunities for new members of the community to familiarize themselves with various organizations in Woburn. Turnout was good, and the food was fantastic! Lots of thanks goes out to Bahamas Grill for providing food for the event, as well as the North Suburban YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, the Council of Social Concern, the Woburn Senior Center, WREN, and Safe Harbor Community Programs for taking part in welcoming these new members to the city of Woburn.  read more »

Hello all!  It's been now a month of SCI AmeriCoprs service for me at the North Suburban YMCA.  We are hoping to start a Middle School program resembling a drop-in center over at the YMCA!  I'm really excited about this, but I could use some help!  Those of you who are middle school students we could use your input on what you would like for a place to go? Also parents and community would would like to see out of a facility for these students?  Just let me know!  I'm always open for new ideas!
