Project YESS

We know you are all aware of the current health issues surrounding COVID-19 in Ohio and the orders from Governor Mike DeWine and Dr. Amy Acton, Director of the Department of Health. Namely, groups of 50 or more are prohibited, and it is strongly suggested that we avoid non-family gatherings of more than ten people.

Because of these current conditions, the Project YESS Team and the Rotary Club of Cleveland have made the difficult decision to cancel Project YESS for 2020. We do not know if we can return to normalcy in the next few months, but we do not believe we can continue with our planning and your hard work only to have to cancel our sessions and sailing at the last minute. The YESS team wants to do what we can to keep everyone safe and healthy. We are grateful for the continued support of Captain Tiffany and our friends on the S/V Denis Sullivan and look forward to continuing our partnership next year.

We would like to do something to help the youth in the greater Cleveland area get through this time of isolation. Please help our team brainstorm about what we can do. Maybe we could collect school supplies for children who have nothing to use in their homes, etc. Feel free to email your ideas to us.

Again, we share your disappointment and hope to see you next year.

10 days until Application deadline!!!
