Although the weather is scorching hot, the YWCA of Van Wert County is thinking ahead to colder temperatures and their annual Scarf Bombing Project. A Ladies Night POUND and Pour event is planned for 6 p.m. July 14 at the Elks Lodge 1197 to raise funds to purchase scarves, hats and gloves in bulk for Scarf Bombing 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each November since 2018, the YWCA has placed packets of winter wear in local parks for those in need to take, no questions asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe placed 200 packets in Fountain Park in 2018 and in the matter of half a day they were all gone. Immediately we recognized a need for these items and Scarf Bombing has grown each year since then,\u201d said Jamie Evans, Director of Survivor Services at the YWCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scarf Bombing Project now includes two Van Wert parks as well as facilities in Ohio City, Convoy and Middle Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c700 packets were dispersed in 2021 between the five parks with less than twenty packets left behind,\u201d Julie Schaufelberger, YWCA Outreach Coordinator. \u201cThe need for these items is great and the POUND and Pour event will help raise funds to purchase items in bulk for this year\u2019s packets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POUND is a workout class consisting of drumming, cardio and strength training using the rhythm of popular music to drive the exercise session. The workout is highly modifiable and can meet the needs of all people along the fitness spectrum. Schaufelberger, who has been a certified POUND instructor for over 6 years, will lead the class for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cPOUND can be modified for each individual\u2019s fitness level to be more or less intense,\u201d she said. \u201cParticipants may increase or decrease impact and all movements can be modified for those who might suffer from joint or back issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ladies are invited to grab some friends for a night out, participate in the workout and then convene in the Elks Lodge after for \u201crecovery drink\u201d specials and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is by donation and anyone donating $10 or more will receive a ticket for a drink of their choice. Spots are limited so those wishing to reserve a spot may do so for free at Eventbrite (https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/pound-and-pour-ladies-night-tickets-360566192187<\/a> ) or contact julies@ywcavanwertcounty.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMen are more than welcome to participate but typically women enjoy this workout more and grabbing a group of friends for a ladies night out makes it even more fun,\u201d Schaufelberger stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other events to raise Scarf Bombing funds will be announced in July on the YWCA\u2019s social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so grateful for our partnership with the Elks to be able to hold this event and as well as our partnership with local parks and rec organizations who allow us to make these vitally needed items available in our community,\u201d Evans said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
