•  A group of volunteers went to Camp Shaver and completely re-modeled the kitchen. The floor in the kitchen was in dire need of replacement. This group of volunteers purchased the wood to replace the floor, moved all of the kitchen equipment, installed the new floor, installed new cabinets, and put the kitchen equipment back in time for summer camp to begin. This same group of volunteers has since "adopted" Camp and will now identify other projects that Camp needs work and will be fundraising for Camp too.
• Pajarito Elementary School sports program: The Y was able to provide two season's of youth sports to the students at Pajarito Elementary School. In the Spring, 125 students played in the Jr. Thunderbirds basketball league and this Fall, 200 students played soccer. The students received a 100% scholarship because of the donation from  Y supporter, Bob Scanlon.
• Summer Day Camp: The third week of Day Camp was a special one for many reasons. It was the first time the Y had partnered with a local group that assists children with severe asthma and supporting their families in our Day Camp program. The third week also coincided with U.S. Olympic Week in the US. The Y was blessed to hear an inspirational talk given by Dana Hee, the 1988 Olympic Gold medalist in Taekwondo, who is from Albuquerque, and is an asthmatic too. Dana spoke to 160 Day Campers and staff about how she was able to overcome her asthma to become an Olympic champion.
• The Y continued our partnership with the APS Title I program, providing complimentary Y memberships to homeless high school students.
• The Y celebrated the 50th anniversary of our Youth and Government program. This program provides high school students throughout the state the opportunity to learn how government works. Over 150 students participated in the program this year. Each April, the students "takeover" the Roundhouse and learn how to write laws, pass laws, and argue court cases in the Supreme Court Chamber.
• Camp Shaver celebrated its 65th year.
• The launch of the new brand including a new Y logo and our three new causes: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
• The Y's annual support campaign, the Step Up For Kids Campaign raised $250,000 for scholarships. This is the most funds raised by Y volunteers in a annual support campaign in the 95 year history of the YMCA of Central New Mexico. For every $1 raised, $.983 will be made available for scholarships.

Without the support of our members, volunteers, community, and dedicated staff, the Y would not be able to provide the programs and activities that improve the quality of life for our community.
