Darke County, OHIO (November 16, 2017) The YMCA of Darke County’s goal to nourish a healthy spirit, mind and body continues as they recently hosted their first Thanksgiving dinner at both the Greenville and Versailles locations.

The YMCA of Darke County is committed to providing safe spaces, improving health, and bringing people together with activities and events such as the “Thankful Thursday” Thanksgiving dinner. Dinners at both Ys were well attended, with a total of nearly 100 people enjoying turkey, ham and beverages provided by the Y. Members who attended were asked to bring a side dish to share, as well, so there was plenty of food for everyone.

YMCA CEO Sam Casalano addressed the gathering, saying that the beauty of the changing leaves in the fall season “reminds me every day that the creator of it all must be a true artist.” The Y welcomed special guest Ben Thaeler from the office of Congressman Warren Davidson, who stopped by the dinner in Greenville bearing dinner rolls and a vegetable tray.
