Notes:

I just spoke with Jim Cossler, Chief Evangelist, YBI, and our Host.  Jim says he can handle a group up to about 24 and,

"...if interested, we will visit the DeYor Performing Arts Center right across the street from YBI. It’s the home of the Powers Auditorium where the Youngstown Symphony plays. It was also the original Warner brothers’ first theater. Absolutely a stunning space. It is also the home of the new Ford Family Recital Hall, one of only a few pure acoustical halls ever built in the country. There is a very nice restaurant in the Flad Pavillion ,which is also part of DeYor, where you can have lunch.

...We may be able to talk with Lou Zona from the The Butler Institute of American Art . He is so passionate about his museum."
