YK Communications has been busy! We're proud to support the communities we serve, and the last month has been a testament to our mission. We've had an exciting time offering giveaways, honoring local high school graduates from Ganado, Tidehaven, and Louise schools, hosting special events, and supporting youth sports. We hope you're following along with us on our Facebook Page, but in case you've missed some of the recent happenings we're spelling it out for you right here on our blog.
Our office got an early start to summer by offering free shaved ice to customers who stopped by on Friday, May 13th. Texas Shaved Ice, LLC was on hand with ice cold treats for our customers, and we looked over existing bills to show people how we could save them money. On top of the monthly savings, new customers or existing customers who upgraded service were given ONE MONTH FREE. For being Friday the 13th, we saw a lot of smiles!

June 3rd was #NationalDonutDay at YK Communications and across America - a day created to remember the care and compassion shown to our military by The Salvation Army during WWI. We offered free donuts and coffee to anyone visiting our office in Ganado that morning.
One of our favorite times of year is when we're able to honor local high school graduates with scholarships.
These students are active in their school and community, and we're proud to be able to offer them a reward for their hard work and dedication.
