Our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to commemorate our new 3,800 sq-ft childcare facility addition was a huge success!!
The YOU Board and Camryn's Clubhouse Team were fortunate to have representatives at the event from ND Dept of Commerce, city officials, representatives from some of our local donors, ND Dept of Health & Human Services and Childcare Aware to name a few.
Thank you to the City of Milnor for the beautiful congratulation flowers and to our local Dakota Dirt for donating their delicious coffee!!
We might be biased, but we sure do have one of the best communities!! Without the support from everyone and in all forms, this childcare center wouldn't be possible!!
On behalf of YOU and Camryn's Clubhouse - THANK YOU!!
