Winona Family YMCA - featured resource of the month:
The Winona Family YMCA is our featured resource of the month. Why? Because it's amazing!!!
Fitness classes, tons of programs for kids, clinics, cardio and strength training equipment, sport leagues, racquetball courts, pools, gyms, and more. PLUS they gave away $123,000 in financial assistance last year. That money helped almost 500 additional community members enjoy the benefits of that great facility and fun programming. What's their target audience? YOU! "The Y is for everybody" Andy Blomsness, Executive Director.
So don't let yourself get caught up in excuses. Go check it out: 207 Winona Street, Winona * 507-454-1520
