Sign up to host a Business After Hours event! These events generally run from 5-7 p.m. on a weeknight and the hosting business provides hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. If interested, please contact Ann at: annb@vermillionchamber.com or at 624-5571. Announcements: • Mentors needed: The Clay-Union Foundation matches youth aged 5-17 in Clay and Union County, and needs to locate mentors to match with youth. In Vermillion, a 14-year-old boy would like to have an adult male friend, and a 16year-old girl would like an adult female to spend some time with her. The program also has a 12-year-old boy near Jefferson who would enjoy outdoor activities and just spending time with an adult male. The volunteers spend two hours/week with their matches, and there are benefits for both the adults and youth in being in a match. Please contact John Gille at (605) 421-5050 or email jgille60@yahoo.com for more information on the ANN BREITAG program, and to discuss being a strong role model for these youth. The ClayUnion Foundation is also seeking program sponsors and businesses that would like to host a tour of their facilities for the members, and John can also be reached at the contacts above. • USD Libraries are displaying a series of artistic exhibitions exploring skateboard designs, graphic novels and tapestries now through May 4.
