YMCA Member Spotlight

Sylvia Clevenger joined the YMCA on Jan. 25, 2012, after her doctor diagnosed her with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He suggested that she start an exercise program. On her first visit to the YMCA, she could not say a complete sentence without gasping for air. She began attending the Strength for Daily Living classes faithfully and now is able to count repetitions in the class. She says she feels 100 percent better and the class has made a tremendous difference in her life.

Union County is sponsoring the Meansville Riley Water Company's application for a $350,000 grant through the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority. The grant would enable the company to install approximately 31,000 linear feet of new water main on eight different roadways and improve water quality. If requested to do so, should the county sponsor more such grant applications by other local water companies?
