Week of Young Child

The Week of the Young Child kicked off Monday at the YWCA as a number of people gathered for a proclamation signed by the Van Wert County Board of Commissioners and to talk about activities planned for the week. Brumback Library, the YMCA and Westwood Behavioral Health Center all have activities planned this week (see independent story on April 20 for more details). Shown are (from the left) Amy Kopack of the Van Wert County Job and Family Services Department, Jamie Evans of the YWCA, Commissioners’ Clerk Larry Clouse, Andrea Morrow of the Family and Children First Council, Cheryl Feathers of Kids Learning Place-Head Start and Deb Russell of United Way of Van Wert County.
