(Middletown, NY)-Senator  Bonacic was pleased to attend and deliver remarks at a ribbon cutting ceremony this past Friday, hosted by the YMCA of Sullivan County, to celebrate the grand opening of their new Youth and Family Center in Rock Hill. Senator Bonacic was able to secure a $500,000 grant to help move the project forward. The 3,000 square foot education and recreation facility will offer a variety of youth programs ranging from outdoor education to the arts, drama and sports programs and school vacation programs in Sullivan County. The site also presently offers hiking trails and boating opportunities.
