Wow! We did it! We did it! You missed it! The Grandmont Community Association Youth Expo was an overwhelming success! This free, fun-filled, exciting event was held on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at Christ the King Church. We, the youth expo committee, demonstrated an ability to transfer our mission into reality by presenting community based programs, local organizations, and businesses that provide resources for family growth and development. In attendance, was a host of vendors, families, and friends. Thirty-five vendors offered quality helpful information such as ...
Detroit Health Immunization, Parenting, Maternal Infant Health for Mother, United Cerebral Palsy Resources, Crime Victim Services, Girls Mentoring and more. The donations aided in the success of the event such as money, gift cards, food, games, supplies, skating admissions tickets, stuffed animals, and prizes. The Chaney Library Reading Room attracted youth of all ages. There was much excitement during the adult and youth drawings for special prizes. We appreciate all support and unwavering contributions.
