As result of what you told us in the Member Satisfaction Survey, we are diligently looking at ways we can improve your experience at the Rye Y. We will be tracking our facility usage during the week of April 8-14. We want to learn more about how you use the Y so that we can serve you better.
After you scan in at Member Services, staff may also ask for your name and membership type when you enter certain areas, such as the fitness center, pools, gymnasium, freestyle fitness zone, etc. Group Exercise classes will be taking a "head count" and asking for your membership type. Throughout the week, the lobby door to the pools will be closed and entry to the Pa Cope pool will be limited to one entrance.
Thank you for your cooperation! Please feel free to request a comment form and share your feedback with us.

2013 Annual Giving Campaign Launches
We raise funds so that no one is ever turned away from Y programs and activities because they can't pay. We are most grateful to everyone who donated in 2012. Thanks to your generosity, last year we were able to award $508,000 worth of financial aid and the need continues to grow.
So the next time you see a smiling child, skipping down our hallways and their parent trying to keep up...think, "I could be the donor that has made all the difference in their lives."
