On November 11, 2016 ("Veteran's Day", after the YESIC sang for a Community Celebration, we chose to eat at the nearby McDonald's on Mulford Rd. in Rockford. Who would ever fathom that we would be "Discovered" by the Owner of the 13 locations of Trippco McDonald's (Mr.Guy Bucciferro, Middle of Photo). A Partnership was soon formed between SOGN/YES Club & the Bucciferro Family! Monthly Concerts occur at select locations (follow the Schedule). Click to see a Cool endorsement by Ronald McDonald, Himself! Many More Clips are on Facebook and the SOGN Web Sites...coming SOON!
The LEGACY of the "YES" Club Vision began with Mr. C, himself, as the last of 7 Musically Talented Children of James and Erma Cole. The family Group was known as "The Singing Coles" throughout the State of Illinois and beyond (even appearing in the IL State Magazine in 1963 & 65! After Dad Cole passed away when Carl was only 12 years old, he became the "Action Figure" of the "YES" Club Vision. Mom Cole taught Everyone to strive for Excellence and wrap it up in "Kindness" and "Good Character"! Carl (Mr. C) carried that torch throughout his School Years (receiving the American Legion Scholastic Award as well as the "Most Likely to Succeed" of the Class of 1979! After going straight to College at NIU, he was inspired to start his own Music Company ("Sounds Of Good News"/SOGN). Through the years, Mr. C worked as the Associate Director of Community Outreach for the Rock River Valley YMCA (clikc the Tab below to see the February 1989 Newsletter). He later worked as a Vendor in the RPS#205, visiting Schools with Music and Character Building, as well as the Musical Director/Musician for Two After School Multi-Cultural Club Programs (under the Leadership of Teachers Ms. Karen Portis & Ms. Wanda Hill). After receiving the 2007 CS Award from the Rockford Park District, he created the permanent name of "The YES Club"! The Rest is HIS-Story!
Through the Powerful Vision of the "YES" Club, we have learned that making a "Better WORLD" begins "WHERE YOU ARE"...in Your City...in Your Community...in Your State...and in Your Nation! Now as we are focusing on increasing AWARENESS of the "YES" Club Vision, we are also working to acquire Donors and Sponsors of our "Let's POWER UP!" Vision of "UNITY-PEACE"!
