Schedules on Demand -   Schedules
 
How would you like the Group Ex, Aquatics, and Gym schedules delivered to you each month?  In our efforts conserve our natural resources and better serve you we will be sending out schedules via e-mail.  Currently we print 1700+ schedules each month.  By the end of 2008, our goal is to print 500 schedules a month---saving countless trees and putting the almost $1450 in annual savings into programs or equipment to better serve you!  Feel confident knowing the YMCA does not share your e-mail information.  Thank you for helping us put our value of responsibility into action.


Will you fill a backpack for a child ?  BrightBeginnings

School Supply Drive for
Bright Beginnings  
 
The backpack and school supplies drive is a key part of  Bright Beginnings.  Our goal is to fill 70 backpacks with school supplies this school year.  If you would like to donate supplies please get a supply list from the Welcome Center and bring them in by August 1st. Thank you for supporting this wonderful program!


Bright Beginnings
 
The dates are set; let the fun begin.  Join us August 5th or August 12th for the experience of a lifetime as 70 local children shop for their school clothes and supplies.  If you have never shopped before it is truly an event you don't want to miss.  To shop just e-mail Clare at clare.lorio@peninsulaymca.org and attend one of the volunteer orientations.  Bright Beginnings is a community outreach program that provides new school clothes and supplies to children with economic challenges so they may start the new year off with pride, confidence, and the tools needed to learn.  Thank you for supporting this program!
