Hello YPM members,

March was a busy month for YPM - we kicked things off at our lunch meetup at Gattis, spent the first half of the month cheering on the Racers both near and far, helped raise nearly $300 for Special Olympics, and toured the new City of Murray Fire Station during Donuts & Development!

We've kicked off April in the same fashion with our first Lunch & Learn taking place yesterday - a huge thank you to Paige Kindle for coordinating this for us!

Below you will see what else is on the docket for this month and opportunities for you to engage with YPM.

Know someone that may be interested in YPM? I encourage you to invite them to our next meetup - all are welcome!

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you/your business is interested in hosting and/or sponsoring a future YPM meetup.

YPM Serves Murray Lions Club
YPM is proud to continue spotlighting a different community non-profit organization each quarter of 2022. Our spotlight this quarter is on the Murray Lions Club.

Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion. Lions Clubs International is the largest service club organization in the world. Their 1.7 million members perform valuable service in 210 countries and geographic areas around the globe. Lions are friends, family and neighbors who share a core belief: community is what we make it.

The Murray Lions Club has been in existence since 1939 and has a lasting impact on our community. Each Lions Club across the country focuses on one area of global impact. The Murray Lions focus on helping improve the vision (eyesight) of Murray.

Ways to serve:
  • YPM is partnering with the Murray Lions Club to help collect used eyeglasses. If you or your business would like a collection box, please contact Colin FitzGerald.
  • The Murray Lions have their "Candy Days" on April 29th and 30th - they will be set up outside of Walmart from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - if you would like to learn more about their organization, they encourage you to stop by and volunteer during one of those days.
