Farewell to the Rye Y's Executive Director
Last week, Rye Y staff presented Gregg Howells with a parting gift of a bench that will be installed outside the Rye Y with a plaque that reads:
DEDICATED TO GREGG HOWELLS
IN GRATITUDE FOR HIS 26 YEARS OF SERVICE
AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
THE RYE YMCA
Earlier in the month, at the Y's annual staff training, Gregg was awarded the Spirit, Mind and Body Award which has been renamed The Gregg Howells Spirit, Mind and Body Award. The award is given annually to the Rye Y employee who most embodies the positive values and character of the Rye Y in everything they do. Members and the community will have an opportunity to say goodbye to Gregg at our annual benefit on Friday.

Watch for an upcoming announcement about our next CEO!
