| SCHEDULE DELIVERY |
| |
 At the Y, we are continually working to improve your experience as members while running a fiscally responsible organization. To that end, you may have noticed some recent changes to our schedules; we hope you find the larger print and style easier to read so you can find your favorite classes more quickly.
In this electronic age, we decided it is time we take full advantage of the lower cost of delivering YMCA program information to you. In the past we have mailed the Program Guide and Schedules directly to your home. Now you will find them on your home-branch YMCA's web page under the Schedules Section and, if you still like the convenience of a printed copy, you can pick up a printed copy of your Y Schedules at your YMCA's Welcome Center. Please let us know how this works for you by taking our poll.
More exciting changes are coming! We are developing a new website that will be mobile-device friendly. The new site also takes advantage of technology that makes it quicker and easier to find classes and register for Y programs!
We hope you will like the changes! |
| YOUTH PROGRAM REGISTRATION |
| |
We all know how much kids dread back-to-school time; give them something fun to look forward to as well!
Registration opens Saturday, August 10th, for:
- Swim Team
- Swim Lessons
- Dance (Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop)
- Theatre
- Private Violin Lessons (NEW!)
Children who sign up for Dance or Theatre classes will participate in our Christmas show.
Come out tomorrow for the open registration. Every 10th person to sign up between 9:00am and 12:00pm wins a prize! |
| BRIGHT SMILES & BRIGHT BEGINNINGS | | |
You can help brighten a child's outlook to face the first day of school with courage, confidence, and excitement.
 The Y makes strengthening our communities our cause. We strongly believe that children who have the necessities to succeed can focus on learning rather than worrying about having shoes to wear on the playground and crayons to color their assignments. By pairing a child with a caring adult volunteer "shopping buddy," children also learn that our community cares about them and wants them to succeed.
You can help by sponsoring a child for $150, by yourself or with your friends and family. You can also participate by volunteering to shop for clothes and school supplies. It's a wonderful moment to see that look of confidence in a child's face.
For more information, please contact Megan Leach, Social Responsibility Coordinator, at 229-9622, or megan.leach@peninsulaymca.org. |

FACILITY MAINTENANCE | |
It's that time again -- time for us to do annual maintenance so we can provide you a bright and clean facility for another year. In addition to general cleaning and painting, maintenance will include:
- Refinishing the floors in the Group Exercise Studio and the Gymnasium
- Deep-cleaning exercise equipment
- Sealing and striping the parking lot
The schedule is as follows:
- Saturday, August 24: The facility will be open, and half of the parking lot will be accessible. The Gymnasium will be closed all day, and the Group Exercise Studio will close at 12:30pm. All classes scheduled in the Group Ex Studio before 12:30pm will take place.
- Sunday, August 25: The facility will be closed.
- Saturday, August 24 - Friday, August 30: The Group Exercise Studio and Gymnasium will be closed while the wood floors are refinished. An alternative schedule of classes wil be posted soon.
Look for updates on our mobile app, Facebook, and Twitter, and don't forget that you can use the Y facilities in Newport News, Yorktown, Hampton, and West Point. |

| ACTS OF KINDNESS | | |
Our inaugural Acts of Kindness Campaign was a great success, thanks to you!
Between June 27th and July 31st, 27 members volunteered over 57 hours at our Y, offering their time and talents to help us build a stronger community. We appreciate your service.
We have both one-time and ongoing opportunities to volunteer in areas such as Child Watch, Membership, Wellness, or in special programs such as Fall Festival and Healthy Kids Day.
For more details, contact Megan Leach, Social Responsibility Coordinator, at 229-9622, or megan.leach@peninsulaymca.org. Come learn, grow, and thrive with the Y! |
