Countdown to AAYLC - 61 Days

Executive Director's Corner
With the start of the New Year, everyone anticipates the upcoming events that the next twelve months will bring. For the AAYLC, a new year means a new vision and a new opportunity to inspire young minds. As we step into this new decade, we want to help students “See Beyond Now.” Did you know that 2020 vision can be achieved through more than what we see when our eyes are open? Vision is also what you see with your eyes closed. If students can use their mind’s eye, they can prepare now for greatness in the future. The AAYLC hopes to lead students towards this new vision not only for 2020 but for years to come. We want to teach them how to envision their futures. Students, parents, and volunteers please plan to join us March 7, 2020 for our annual conference. Registration starts mid-January. - Shantelle Nix
