Janelle Amy introduced herself to the Harrison County Commissioners on July 7 as the new mission advancement and development director for the YMCA of Harrison County and provided an overview of the YMCA’s local programs and community impact.

She also described youth sports, specialty programs for people with Parkinson’s disease, chaplain services, a little free library, blood drives and the YMCA’s outreach at the Corydon Farmers’ Market to promote healthy eating among children.
