Greetings!
I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer filled with great adventures and happy memories. My family had a very exciting summer with the birth of baby Parker. I can't quite believe it, but he's already 3 ½ months old and doing great - and I can't wait to bring him to Y family events and programs this fall!
Speaking of programs, we have some great new offerings this Early Fall season for youth and families. I've listed just a sampling of them below; and of course you can view the complete brochure at http://www.gbymca.org. And, if you have family and friends who would enjoy these events, please help us spread the word by sharing this e-news with them.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Y!
Warm regards,
Stacia Judd
Director of Family Programs
