Champions of Youth Ambitions (C’YA) is challenging members of the community during the month of February to bake a plate of cookies to surprise someone or donate $5 to C’YA. Just take a photo and send it to C’YA and tell them who you challenge next. The email address is cya.org@att.net. C’YA’s bank account is with Los Alamos National Bank. Checks may be sent to 77 Isleta Drive White Rock, NM 87547. Courtesy photo

C’YA president Claire Swinhoe, expanded the Cookie Plate Challenge to include some butterfly-themed cupcakes. C’YA works to provide free, fun, hands-on science education in elementary schools, youth leadership, cards for military members from the community or veterans and community celebrations. C’YA recently held its Community Assets Awards Gala during which people from throughout the community were recognized for their contributions in various aspects of community life. Courtesy photo
