Lincoln Area YMCA announces newest board member

The Lincoln Area YMCA added a new board member this spring, as Augustus Scott Jr. joined the board in March for a three-year term. The board members are volunteers who give direction and leadership to the YMCA.

Gus Scott recently retired from the Department of Corrections in Lincoln. He is married to Kym Ammons-Scott and has three children, Ashanti Lonel, 9, Jamaal Allen, 7, and Janel Ayana, 5. Their children are very active in YMCA sports, and the new board member wants to be a positive role model for his own and other children.

He is also on the West Lincoln-Broadwell School board as well as being a board member of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice. He will be a member of the YMCA’s finance committee to help steer the YMCA to greater financial security.

The YMCA is pleased and proud to have this pillar in the community as part of the board of directors. We welcome him and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship building strong kids, strong families and a strong community.

Family and Friends in the Armed Forces

sponsored by American Legion Post 263

It is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we are a changed nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward whom and what we have in our lives has been heightened. We are more conscious and appreciative, first about those we love and see every day. Next, we have a newfound appreciation for those who risk their lives every day as rescue workers and protectors of life and property in our communities. We also now think more about our military men and women who are committed to serve and protect our country. Many are away engaged in battle, some are in waiting to go, all are ready to lay their lives on the line in defense of our freedom.

Friends and relatives serving in the armed forces are listed here so we might all hold them in our thoughts, prayers and well wishes. If you know of other friends and relatives serving (they need not be from Logan County), please send the information to ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com. Along with the name, you are invited to include the branch of service, current location of service, postal address, e-mail address and relationship to the person providing the information (optional).
