WyR is a project of Young Leadership Council (YLC) which is best described as an umbrella organization for a variety of projects; everything from reading / tutoring projects to cleaning up parks, encouraging high schoolers to exercise, bike racks etc and the best part is that if you think of an idea for a project you can put together a proposal to present to the board for approval.
It is also a very social group where adult beverages are available at all meetings. YLC only has a staff of about 5 so everything else is voluneteer driven either after a normal workday (we all have to have real jobs) or weekends so what better way to encourage participation than have beer? If you interested go to the website
www.youngleadershipcouncil.com and sign up for the newsletter. Come to a "Jumpstart" meeting (April 12th at the YLC building on Euterpe) to learn about all the current projects and have some beer.
Pictures: Here is one of the standard side of the rack with the YLC & City logos (goes on one side of every rack...except the ones that will be used in Gretna obviously)
And here i randomly chose one showing a sponsor plaque with Whole Foods (these are the ones outfront of the store):
We've had people do everything from a favorite quote of theirs, a bible verse, a happy birthday wish, logo, joke, etc...we'll put anything on there as long as it's not offensive.
