Let’s create a new car wrap

Thanks to a generous grant from the Greene County Council on Aging from the Senior Services Levy, the Senior Center has a new vehicle, a 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid minivan. We have successfully converted the Sienna to allow for wheelchair transportation.
We would like your help to design a unique car wrap for this van. The wrap must include the YSSC logo and cannot cover the windows, wheels, hubcaps, or headlights. The minivan is WHITE. Entries are due to the Senior Center, 227 Xenia Ave., by October 14. The winning entry will receive a $20 gift certificate to Current Cuisine. All ages are eligible to enter. Winner(s) will be determined at the sole discretion of the Senior Center. Artwork becomes the property of the YSSC.
