WARSAW — The Take-a-Break Respite Program will offer parents and caregivers of those with special needs, an opportunity for a break.  Children ages 3-13 may be dropped off at the YMCA for fun activities from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 23.   This program is a partnership between the YMCA, Joes’s Kids, Right to Life of North Central Indiana and local churches.

The Take-a-Break Respite program is offered several times throughout the year with each event offering 2 hours of programming and fun for those participating, including crafts, games, sports and other activities.
