Proceeds will provide assistance for homeless families in the community.
BOARDMAN -- The 100th anniversary of its service to the Mahoning Valley will be celebrated by the YWCA of Youngstown with an Autumn Swing Dance to be held from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Holiday Inn.
A highlight of the evening will be a dance contest featuring single-step swing and triple-step swing, and a silent auction of unique and specialty items. There will also be music from the past 50 years, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
The event is a means of raising awareness and support for YWCA housing programs for homeless women and their families.
YWCA housing programs include permanent rental housing in the community for homeless families with a disabled household member, transitional housing and supportive services for homeless women and their children, and permanent housing with supportive services for single homeless women with disabilities.
