News From the YMCA
Give the Y a High $5 While snow and ice can slow down cars on the road, the Y keeps everyone performing at top speed! A new batch of Group Exercise classes enter the fray in our Spring Program Brochure. ZUMBA, cycling, and TRX continue as solid favorites to embrace the idea of Healthy Living.

Arena Football and Spring Baseball will reinforce youngsters with the importance of teamwork while teaching new skills and helping kids realize potential. Our sports programs always focus on Youth Development

Our annual campaign, Partners For Youth (PFY), enjoyed an enthusiastic launch and has remained strong over the past three weeks. The scholarship money we raise helps less fortunate adults and families who want to be part of the Y.
Each year brings a new challenge, but standing as one, we will continue to aid our neighbors under the banner of Social Responsibility.
