YMCA officials to ramp up publicity on fund drive

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign County YMCA's capital campaign has new leadership, and the new campaign chair vows the community will see increased publicity in coming weeks.

Kay Machula said she assumed the chairmanship when former chair David Hood stepped down about a month ago. She said she and a core group of six other YMCA board members plan to "hit the ground running" in the next week or so.
