THUMBS UP: Even in these uniquely difficult economic times, the YMCA of San Benito County's volunteers and donors have overcome odds and managed to exceed this year's fundraising goal for the Strong Communities Campaign that raises funds for the organization. The group set a goal of $85,000 after raising $90,000 last year. Despite the tumultuous economy, donors gave $2,000 more than the goal and just a few thousand dollars less than a year ago. Considering there is a recession, unemployment is near 15 percent and the foreclosure crisis has hit home hard - while citizens are holding onto discretionary dollars with a tight grip - it's an astonishing number. Credit goes to the volunteers who gave their time and accomplished their goal and to the many donors who give back to this community by supporting this invaluable organization. You all make San Benito County a better place and should be proud.
