Single Moms Support Group For the past two years the YMCA has offered a monthly Single Moms Support Group for women dealing with divorce and custody issues. Our last meeting in June we invited a guest speaker, Diane Spears, who spoke about how women can improve relations with their ex-partners. Drawing from her many years of experience, the Manhattan-based psychotherapist provided tips on how to stop the “blame game” and control feelings of anger and rage. There was also a Q&A session at the end. The next meeting is Thursday, July 15th from 6:30-8:30. Join us! The YMCA provides free babysitting to moms attending the group. For more information contact LaKeisha Harris at lharris@ymcanyc.org.

And the winner is... On Wednesday, May 5th Cosmo Scharf, a McBurney YMCA Teen, won the Citywide YMCA FutureWorks Business Plan Competition. We are very proud of Cosmo! FutureWorks is a year-round program offered for teens (13-18) who are inter-ested in learning about how to start their own businesses. FutureWorks offers indispensable programming for youth who otherwise may never have been exposed to confidence and skill building activities that focus on business and the world of work. The FutureWorks Business Plan Competition is the chance for one business from each of the YMCA branches that run FutureWorks to com-pete against other branches’ business ideas. Cosmo won the FutureWorks competition with his business idea – Allerscan. Allerscan is an iPhone Ap Cosmo invited which would enable users to scan food PCS bar codes and have a read out appear on their phone alerting them to any potential allergy concerns. Congratulations Cosmo – Job well done! For more information about the FutureWorks program, please contact Lauren Barr at lbarr@ymcanyc.org.
