April showers bring May flowers! And one can only hope some warmer weather to come with it. Hard to believe we are in the 5th month of 2019 already. Time flies. Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring and getting ramped up for Summer.
Speaking of getting ramped up, we have the Pedal to the Metal with no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. We continue to offer outstanding programs for our Members and our Community. Healthy Living Initiatives such as, LIVESTRONG (great link here to the Leader Times article featuring this program – https://www.leadertimes.com/articles/rgs-ymca-aims-to-improve-strength-and-confidence/), Delay the Disease, ENERGIZE!, Diabetes Prevention, Stay in Motion, and Arthritis Programs. And coming soon: Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program!!
Never heard of these programs? Didn’t know we offered these programs? Feel free to contact the Welcome Center for more information. We would love to serve more individuals through these offerings. These programs are all made 100% possible through the Annual Campaign. We couldn’t offer these life changing initiatives without your support.
I want to give a huge shout out to the ladies who attended our Women’s Leadership Forum on 4/29/19. What a magnificent group of leaders we have within our community. We had a wonderful evening of sharing, suggestions, and fellowship. What an excellent way to continue building our Capital Campaign, while at the same time beginning our next 3-Year Strategic Plan. This event was instrumental in obtaining the necessary information to proceed with next steps. Nice job ladies!!!
In closing I want to remind everyone of the Day of Giving on May 9th. The Y is one of many outstanding organizations participating this year so please mark this date on your calendar and if your means allow please consider contributing towards our cause.
2019 Right Here, Right Now
