A Year in Review
Congratulations on a phenomenal year, YMSL Legacy Chapter. One of YMSL’s founding principles is “to assist, serve and support those who are in need”. We started this year ready to shake things up & make a difference . . . And boy did we ever. Through the work of our incredibly talented Members, Boys and Board we were able to accomplish and work through things that were unprecedented. Please take a moment to reflect on the volunteer hours we were able to accomplish together. In a year that was cut short, we did not falter in our impact to the community. I am exceptionally proud of all we accomplished & I hope you are as well. As a organization, we have over 14,000 people involved in the organization and serve over 2300 philanthropies nationally. We have made our mark! YOU have made your mark!
We’ve had a full year of Philanthropic endeavors. Thank you, every mom and every young man for your time and your commitment to service and supporting our community, but more importantly being a leader in the lesson of giving back. And hopefully you will walk away with some fond memories too.
Board Recognition
I’d also like to recognize the group of women who initiate all the happenings in our chapter and make sure it runs smoothly. These women have huge hearts and give countless hours to their positions on the board. They have a desire to go above and beyond to serve our communities and to support and lead our young men. I could not be more pleased to have served alongside them this past year. It has truly been my honor.
We will be saying good-bye to several, as their sons are graduating or have taken other assignments for 2020-2021. You are all outstanding, dedicated and amazing women who will be missed greatly. Please join me in expressing our sincere appreciation to:
- Laura Frawley, VP Boys

To our Class of 2020 Seniors, how do I adequately sum up what you have meant to this chapter? Your class has added spice, laughter, commitment, dedication, compassion, fun and so much more to YMSL Legacy. We wanted to be able to celebrate with you, in person and let you know how deeply we appreciate you, your accomplishments and your contributions. You are an exceptional group of young men, with no limits on your future. We are proud of you! We love you! We are behind you! No matter where life takes you, please remember that you have left your mark on the hearts and lives of YMSL Legacy. Gentleman-Congratulations and Moms-You were great mentors for your boys and set a true example of what it means to be compassionate, reliable and service minded. Congrats to you all!
Have a wonderful summer YMSL Legacy and keep a lookout for chapter updates!
We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
My best, Becki Girouard
