The Youth Development Commission will be hosting a youth development fair on Saturday, April 25, 2009. The fair will take place at Wayne State University in the historic Matthaei Sports Complex starting at 10am.

Let’s Play Ball is a city wide registration fair for parents looking for fun activities for kids. Attend this event and register your child for year round recreational and educational programs. We have been asked to participate as invited guest of YDC to facilitate on site demonstrations of fencing with help from staff, currently enrolled children and friends of the sport. We will also be providing free fencing lessons on site to the community.

Hope to see you there!
