Welcome to Fall! Hard to believe 9 months of the year have passed and the leaves are falling. Get your Halloween candy now, or Christmas decorations if you’re planning ahead. Yesterday I saw eggnog on the shelves already. Unbelievable.
On Thursday, September 6th we kicked off our 2018 Annual Campaign. Our goal this year is $85,000. All of the monies raised during the Annual Campaign will go directly back into the Community, which allows the Y to offer programs we wouldn’t otherwise be able to offer, as well as offering those less fortunate the ability to enjoy our facility. Thank you to all those who attended the Kick Off and thank you to the wonderful staff and volunteers for putting it all together. It was a great evening and I cannot wait until the Victory Celebration on November 1st!! I also want to thank all of you in advance for your support. Without you and your efforts we would not be experiencing the amazing growth we have been enjoying the last two years. Here’s to another great Annual Campaign!!
Don’t forget to review the proposed new By-Laws the Executive Committee and Board of Directors have been diligently working on updating. They will be available to you online or at the welcome center and the Board will vote to put them into place at the October 15th Board Meeting. These new By-Laws are critical to the continued growth and succession of our organization. I am very excited we are taking the appropriate steps to amend and activate them. It has been a long process but one we are taking very seriously. We hope you do as well.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!
