Message From Our CEO – Tina Carter
It is happening, the weather is changing, I see the leaves already turning colors. To say the least I am not ready.
August has been very busy for the Meadville Family YMCA. We have hired some new staff, we have planned for our summer camp kids to head back to school and worked on Fundraising to support our Fairview Fairmont YKids Club Program and our Free Dinner Program.
I want to thank all of our Golf Friends who supported our Annual Art Cocolin Memorial Golf Outing. We had a very successful golf outing this year with a profit of $7,900, we could not have done this with out all of our sponsors and golfers.
I would also like to thank all of our Crawford Give Donors we had 44 donors give $9,070 in funds to support your local YMCA. We could not do this without each of you so thank you for supporting your local YMCA.
Summer is leaving and Fall is fast approaching take a few minutes for you – Fall into this new Fall season and do something for you, curl up on your porch with a blanket and hot chocolate and read a book, stop and listen to the sounds of fall, or stop in and see us at the Y, we love having you.
Tina Carter
CEO
Thank You to Our Crawford Gives Donors
The Meadville Family YMCA was excited to participate in the Crawford Gives again this year. We were beyond excited to share our story in efforts to raise awareness and funding for the community work we do!
This year we highlighted our Summer Parks Program. A collaboration between the YMCA, Creating Landscapes, Women’s Services, and the City of Meadville. Both YMCA staff and Creating Landscapes staff and volunteers are at Huidekoper Park Monday through Friday with programming from 10am-3:30pm. The YMCA staff are committed to providing fun and educational opportunities for the young people in our community. Rosanne and Emily faithfully implement impacting activities to help children explore and learn all while having fun! These two caring to the child and their needs. Tammy serves FREE lunches to the young people each day at the park also! We are thankful to the community who supported the Walkathon this spring to kick of the Summer Parks program, and to the PNC Foundation for additional grants that have allowed the program to THRIVE. Monies raised during Crawford Gives will help ensure the sustainability of the program for next summer and hopefully allow us to implement the program at a second park!
A word from Tina Carter. As the CEO, my goal has been to ensure we are filling the gaps within our Crawford County Communities. It is the support from donors like you that make this commitment from the Meadville Family YMCA possible. We could not offer these services without our donors and supporters throughout Crawford County.
THANK YOU
We couldn’t have done it without your support
