The Westfield Area YMCA invites the community of all ages to come and paint a canvas in honor of Veterans Day on Friday, November 8, from 12:00-2:00 pm. The event will be held at the Main Y Facility, 220 Clark St. In Westfield, and is a great opportunity to show appreciation for our military veterans. All artwork will be donated to the VFW to brighten the lives of those who have served.

Registration is required and can be completed online or at the Main Y Facility. The $10 donation to participate will benefit the Westfield Area YMCA Strong Kids+ Annual Support Campaign, which ensures that no one experiencing a bona fide financial hardship who lives or works in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside, or Westfield is turned away for inability to pay.

Questions? Contact the Main Y Welcome Center at 908-301-YMCA (9622).
