To help save trees and money, EYC is striving to reduce the number of copies of The Signal that are sent through the mail.  Many of our members have switched to the "eSignal".  If you still wish to receive a paper copy of The Signal, just inform the office.  Otherwise, you are welcome to pick up a copy in the Duty Office.

 The Steve Reid “Bounce Back” Event

DATE CHANGE to Saturday, March 20th

As many of you already know, Steve had an unfortunate ladder accident this winter which left him with serious injuries.
Although Steve is far from being “out of the woods” yet, with his determination he has been making tremendous progress in his recovery.
To acknowledge his awesome efforts at recovery and rehab, his friends are hosting a social event for him on Saturday evening, March 20.
We will party hardy, but with a purpose. We’d like to take the opportunity to do some fund raising to help defray some of Steve’s unexpected costs.
