This NCYC fundraiser in honor of 9/11 covered our grounds with a beautiful tribute to that mournful day in our history.  We thank all who purchased flags and we love seeing our young people and their families volunteer to place over 400 flags. The NCYC youth from St. Francis Xavier in Marcellus sold and placed over 270 flags on their lovely grounds as well.
