Union of Youth

On Monday the 5th of May, members of the NUY, along with other community organizations, were presented with their grant award from the Grace Whittier Fund Committee at the Northfield City Council meeting. The NUY received a $2000 award for their up and coming Photo Club. This money will be used for various expenses (chemicals, paper, negatives, development) and is a one-year grant. According to the City of Northfield’s website: “The Grace Whittier Fund Committee was created in 1988 as a result of a gift from long-time Northfield resident Grace Whittier. The purpose of the fund is to support recreational opportunities for Northfield youth. The City of Northfield has established a process to award grants from the Grace Whittier Fund to Northfield area organizations that provide recreational activities for youth and children.” The Key thanks the Grace Whittier Fund Committee and apologizes for rushing out of their so quickly (the kids had to run off to a United Way panel).
