CELEBRATE SUMMER
Sodexo Hosts Annual End of Summer Camp Cookout The Sodexo Corporation is partnering with the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA on July 21 for its Annual End of Summer Cookout. This event is the highlight of the summer for our campers and members. This year’s event also includes dental and health screenings with the National Dental Association and Morehouse School of Medicine. The NDA’s day of screening will provide all members and campers with dental gift bags, campers will learn about dental health and careers in medicine and dentistry while eating lunch with dental and medical students. YMCA adult members and seniors will have an opportunity to attend a Question & Answer Town Hall Meeting regarding dental health trends, practices, disease prevention and detection. We look forward to celebrating the end of our summer camp season with you!
