Day: September 1, 2023

Although the weath­er may not feel like fall quite yet, I’m look­ing for­ward to the days when cool breezes and fall col­ors trans­form the world around us. That trans­for­ma­tion reminds all of us of the con­stant change in our lives and the abil­i­ty we must cre­ate change for oth­ers. It’s empow­er­ing and hum­bling. It’s excit­ing and a bit scary. We all face change con­stant­ly, and we depend on the sup­port of friends, fam­i­ly, and orga­ni­za­tions like the YMCA to nav­i­gate that change suc­cess­ful­ly. I’m so proud to know that the work being done by our staff, volunteers, and teams pro­vide a safe­ty net for all peo­ple in our com­mu­ni­ty to man­age and thrive in the trans­for­ma­tions of our lives, both big and small.

There has been much work done and is still being done within our YMCA. The new community room will be offering classes for our members soon, our downtown Men’s shower room is getting a much-needed facelift and we have our gymnasium that will be getting work completed in late 2023 early 2024. The end of this year is bringing about big change for our Vernon members, with a move into our newly renovated space at Griffin Motors, we have gotten off to a slow start because we wanted the Taj Mahal but realized we needed to scale back a bit. We are very excited that we will be able to offer Child Watch, an area for our Trainers and a HIIT area for those of you who are looking for something a little different than the normal cardio or strength training. We will give some sneak peak photos as we go along, watch our Facebook page for updated photos.

We have our annual Purse Bingo on October 14th at 7PM at Active Aging which will support our Scholarship Campaign, a campaign that supports local families with membership, early learning and afterschool care, veterans, and our food distribution program. We hope to see many of you there!

This year so far has been full of projects and many changes with many more to come, please be patient as we navigate through all of our projects, we appreciate your support and understanding.

Thank you and God Bless,
Tina
