Talk about it

The Hudson Golf Club was filled with supporters of Youth Action Hudson at its fourth annual fundraising breakfast held last week.

The organization, formerly known as Community Action, has been in Hudson for more than 30 years. The breakfast highlighted the organization’s work with and by area youth and the programs they conduct to foster service learning, leadership opportunities, mentoring and address issues like bullying and teasing. The program included presentations by YAH volunteers and staff about the programs they participate in.

The keynote speaker for the event was longtime community volunteer and St. Croix Valley Foundation president Steve Wilcox.

This is the organization’s largest fundraiser. For more information about YAH call (715) 386-9803 or go online at www.youthactionhudson.org.
