Program Spotlight!

Letter from the Leader

Greetings!

Spring is so close, can you feel it? We are itching to do more things outside, but for now we will just appreciate that the leaves are beginning to bud. Reflecting back, we recently held our first MARA Madness Basketball Tournament. It was a huge success and we look forward to replicating it next year We had teams from all over central Pennsylvania and everyone enjoyed being in town. We are starting to require pre-registration for most of our programs to ensure that we aren’t wasting time or resources. This helps keep our long term costs down. Please don’t wait. Get registered for something today! All programs are on our registration site mara.maxgalaxy.net.

Sincerely,

Will Foster

Intern Update

Jaden

I have been hard at work learning about setting up and facilitating programs and how to write a curriculum. This month I am leading Flag Football for the youth and working on other programs. It has been fun to see what goes into making a program and running it. I am also participating in the Mr. Middletown Man Pageant. Please take a moment to look at my flyer and donate!
