Teaching Children "NOT" to Smoke
Although the dangers of smoking are well-known it is an unfortunate fact that some teenagers become hooked on cigarettes at an early age. "Not on Tobacco" (NOT) is a smoking-cessation program designed to help teens break the habit.
The benefits of a non-smoking lifestyle are emphasized in this class, which is sponsored by the American Lung Association.
Teens meet weekly for eight weeks beginning on Monday, April 12 from 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. You may register your teen at the Welcome Center.

| Quote-of-the-Month for Kids
Each month we'll feature a new quote for you to discuss with your children. The next time you bring them to the Y, they can talk with any of our department directors about the meaning of the quote for the month. All participants receive a small prize for their efforts.
The quote for April is:
"Profit is what we have left after we make
A donation to a worthwhile cause."
~Marilyn Vos Savant |
