YMU gives dinner in support of youth

Young Men United celebrated the Christmas season with local youth at the annual dinner held recently at East End Drive Church of Christ. The church lends its facilities to the club each year for this occasion.

Approximately 30 children were in attendance, joining club members and volunteers.

Professor Scott McMillan of Volunteer State Community College provided encouragement to the attendees on the topic of the importance of education. Native son and entertainer Terry “T.C.” Cope, who has appeared on BET, spoke about following your dreams.

Young Men United was founded in 1998 by a group of area men with the idea to help build character in local youth by providing positive role models. The members are appreciative of those in the community for their donations and time that help make these endeavors possible.
