YWCA Tag Day Volunteers pause for a photo outside of the YWCA's Admin Office on August 20th, 2010.

 

YWCA Tag Day volunteer Tony exclaims that in all of his years volunteering and fundraising, he has never EVER had a lineup of people waiting to give him money like they did for the YWCA May Tag Days.

“People were so nice and generous. They had wonderful things to say

about the YWCA."

- Volunteer Tagger
