Hope Square

Memorial/Honorarium Bricks

     Friends and supporters of the Clark County Youth Shelter can still purchase bricks to honor or memorialize loved ones or to show support of local youth. The bricks make up "Hope Square", a patio placed around the flag pole in the front of the Clark County Youth Shelter.

     The idea of the square was inspired by Kyle Vissing, a former CCYS resident who returned to the shelter to erect the flag pole with landscaping as an Eagle Scout project.  Vissing was killed in an automobile accident in 2006, shortly after his project at the shelter was completed.    

    “Hope Square is meant to symbolize the hope that CCYS strives to provide the residents during their stay in the shelter,” said Amy Schneidau, Assistant Director. “We encourage anyone with a message of support, hope, or love for youth to participate in this special project.”

     Cost is $75 per brick with three lines of text. For more information or to request an order form, please contact the shelter at 284-5229 or download brick order form.

YOU'RE INVITED...
to the
7th Annual Clark County Youth Shelter 
Holiday 'Celebrity' Waiter Dinner

6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2010

Jeffersonville Optimist Club

  

     This event is one of two major fundraisers for the shelter each year that supports not only the Residential Program, but also important auxiliary programs such as Family Education and Support and Safe Place.  The event features a full buffet dinner -- complete with a wide variety of homemade desserts, a live and silent auction with items ranging from homemade gifts to local specialties, and live entertainment.  To top that off, each table is entertained and "waited" by local "celebrities" or people who find themselves entertaining and want to prove it to the rest of us! 

     The idea is to have a great time, witness some real talent and tip the waiters who in turn donate everything to benefit the Clark County Youth Shelter!

Tickets for the event are $30.  Donations of live and silent auction items are being sought.  To find out how to attend the event or donate an item for auction, please contact Amy Schneidau at 284-5229 by Dec. 6, 2010.

Hope to see you there!
