Welcome New YPNers

March's Prospective Member Mixer was a huge success bringing 70 YPNers out to the Varsity Grill - 19 of which became official YPN Members on the spot! Check out the pictures on Facebook.

We're so happy to have you involved in our T-Town gem. Make sure you stay in touch with us! Here's how:

- Peruse our monthly E-newsletter which will hit your inbox early each month
- Link our Google calendar (it's over there to the right) to your Google calendar and show up at our next event (like the RAGS volunteer & networking opportunity)
- Introduce yourself by completing this super brief member highlight. Each month we feature 2 members in our E-newsletter
- Join a committee! Email ypntacoma@gmail.com and express your interest. We're always looking for YPNers who make the most of their membership by taking on a resume-boosting leadership role. Let us know what you're interested in!

We are the next generation of community leaders valuing leadership, philanthropy, networking and fun. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Be a Part of RAGS

Join YPN Philanthropy & Networking for a day of fun! March 13th @ 3pm we'll meet at the 17th Annual RAGS wearable art show at the Mercedes Dealership in Fife to shop and admire these wonderful works of art that have all been handmade. After we shop we will help break down the show and clean up the dealership since this entire event is put on by volunteers. Once we are done volunteering we will go the The Hub for dinner and fun around 5 or 5:30!

What is RAGS ? RAGS is a juried wearable art competition and sale that benefits the YWCA’s domestic violence prevention and intervention programs. Produced entirely by volunteers, sponsors, and underwriting donations, RAGS offers guests an opportunity to view and acquire fabulous clothing, jewelry and accessories created by artisans from across the country. A portion of all sales helps the YWCA keep abused women and children safe, healthy, and self-sufficient.
