FESTIVAL OF TREES - NOV 23, 7:00 P.M.

Join us for this holiday event to support the YMCA Guardian financial assistance program at the Smithfield Center.  

Event proceeds provide opportunities to families and individuals in our community to afford membership, child care, and other Y programs. 

 

Enjoy live music by the "Michael Clark Band," food, and live and silent auctions.  Tickets are available at the Welcome Center, any staff or Board Member, or at the door. 

 

Need child care?  Your children can enjoy Kids Night Out at the Y, FREE, if you are attending the Festival of Trees (pre-registration is required).

FALL EXTRAVAGANZA FAMILY FUN NIGHT

Are you ready for the FALL EXTRAVAGANZA?  Join us Friday,   October 25th, 6:30-8:00 P.M. 

 

Have the kids dress up in their favorite non-scary costume and join us for a great night of pumpkin decorating, face painting, tattoos, games, and trick or treat stations throughout the Y.

 

This fun event is FREE but please bring a canned good for our November food drive.

 

SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS CAMPAIGN

Being kind and helpful to other people also rewards our own sense of worth.  One way to show that you love your community YMCA is to volunteer 15-30 minutes of your day.

 

Make a pledge to get involved today!  Some of the acts of kindness you can perform at the Y include:

  • Help maintain Margo's Garden
  • Get a workout by sweeping the gym floor
  • Be a coffee barista and man the coffee station
  • Scan member cards
  • Be a group exercise class greeter

Make the pledge to give back by volunteering for at least 15 minutes at your Y.  Click here to contact Connie Chapman for more information.

LET'S MOVE TOGETHER!

Running Club - Did you know we are starting a running club for beginners?  Janet will lead you from the Y throughout the town and neighboring Windsor Castle trails.  The Running Club program runs Wednesdays at 5:30 P.M. and Saturdays at 8:00 A.M. starting October 9th-November 30th.

 

Tabata is now on the Group Exercise schedule on Mondays at 9:30 A.M.  What in the world is Tabata you ask?  It is a routine that uses intense exercise for 20-30 seconds followed by a 10-second rest, repeated 8 times without a pause. Come learn Tabata with Autumn!

 

Back to School - Back in the Pool at the Y!  Classes are swimmer boy designed to assist children in water safety, personal growth, stroke development, water sports and games, and rescue skills.  Registration for the next session starts October 12, and classes start October 28.

 

Cheerleading - Does your child eat, sleep and breathe cheerleading?  Our cheerleading classes offer a fun, yet structured way to learn the basic fundamentals.  These instructional classes work on the basic motions, jumps, tumbling, and logistics of cheerleading.  Participants work together to build up strength, endurance, and flexibility. Sign up now and join us on Monday nights at 6:30 P.M.
