Fall Festival is Here Again!
 
Join us, Friday, October 31st for our annual Family Fall Festival! 
 
Free for the whole family, this event will host a number of activities starting at 6:30pm and continuing on until 8:30pm.  Activities include inflatable rides, arts & crafts, carnival games, and our favorite activity : Trunk or Treat.  As you can see, there's something for everyone in the whole family to enjoy!
 
Although this event is free, members are asked to bring canned goods or non-perishable food items for admission.  Your donation will go towards our Family Volunteer Day this November where we help provide food for families this Thanksgiving.
 
So don't wait another minute and register your child TODAY for Trunk or Treat!  If you would like to participate in Trunk or Treat, please see the Welcome Center or James Triplette for more information.  James can be reached at (757) 867-3300 x228.

Biggest Loser Contest Creates Big Winners!

The Victory Family YMCA hosted its first 12 week Biggest Loser Challenge this summer.  Each participant had an opportunity to participate in group Personal Training sessions as well as a Biggest Loser group exercise class each week.  After 12 weeks of hard work, learning and practicing good nutritional habits, the group lost 531.8 pounds.  WOW! 
 
We had 60 participants enter the contest.  A six month free membership was awarded to the two winners: Stephanie Singletary and Marshall Smith.  Stephanie and Marshall decreased their weight by 12.86% and 17.22% respectively! 
 
Congratulations to Stephanie and Marshall and to all the participants who made a commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
 
For more information about the Biggest Loser contest, please contact Franki Pivarnik at (757) 867-3300 x 225.
