Is It Your Turn Yet?
September 2008
"Wow! Look What Many Can Do!"
It is amazing what like minded people can get accomplished when they decide to work together for a common goal.

Our Regional YMCA, through terrific volunteerism, has been given a new spirit that is evident when you walk through the doors. This is just the beginning. Our very active and forward thinking Board is working hard to attract a dynamic executive director to lead the staff and volunteers in the remaking of our YMCA. Our fall youth programs, which are a high focus, have been very well received and increased volunteerism has made that happen.

As we proceed over the next many years, it is that community spirit that will allow our YMCA to be the center of this regional community. Broadening programs with Dexter, Guilford, Milo and other surrounding communities can help bring together, all of the region, with a common foundation of physical and mental health and well being.

If you have some time, stop in and talk with the staff to find out what the ‘Y’ can offer you. If you have time and want to work with others, please consider volunteering, as it is many people doing a small amount that is going to make this regional community and this YMCA a positive center.

Today is the first day of the rest of our YMCA life.
