Welcome to the Chantilly Youth Association Blog

CYA has found a new way to get information out to our members through Patch!  On behalf of CYA, I am excited to be the official CYA Blogger for Patch.  A special thanks to Lisa Brown, the editor of Chantilly Patch for helping me get started!

It has been a busy winter for CYA - lots of updates to the website www.chantillyyouth.org and the big kick-off to the CYA Purple Wave Fundraising Program!  Get your business prominently displayed on the Home Page and benefit from broadcast email marketing to the CYA Membership.  The new program offers a terrific opportunity to all businesses in and around Chantilly, Centreville and Oakton - or anywhere for that matter! 

Maybe the CYA Community Partners Program is better for you - we invite businesses to post a special offer on the CYA Home Page and in return for the added traffic that will be generated, the business will donate a portion of the sales back to CYA.  It's a win/win! (seriously cliche but true!)  You can read all about becoming a CYA Community Partner at:  http://www.chantillyyouth.org/Partners/index_E.html

Most importantly, CYA has a database with over 17,000 email addresses of members who are eager to not only get a great deal, but help in raising funds for the various projects we have going on in the area.  What business wouldn't benefit from this?! 

I will attempt to blog frequently as topics present themselves.  With my lofty goal of blogging at least once per week, I may need your help!  Send me some ideas - maybe topics that we can explore using this blog like a forum.  It will definitely be interesting and even FUN!  Everyone can get involved so join me, won't you!

Have a GREAT 2012 Spring Sports Season!
