Wrapping up October!

October 30, 2020

NOTES AND UPDATES FROM LEADERSHIP

With the rising Covid-19 numbers and the recommendation from our community leaders, I want you to know that we are continuing to take every reasonable measure to keep our facility clean, sanitized, and as safe as possible. Our staff will continue wearing masks, staying behind barriers, cleaning and sanitizing, and limiting unnecessary large gatherings. I know these precautions can be an inconvenience, but we are dedicated to doing our part to support our local leaders’ recommendations. I hope we can count on you to help us keep our community open!

Sunday, November 1st marks the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour.

On Election Day (Tuesday, November 3), the Y is serving as a vote center and our gym will be closed from 6am to 6pm to accommodate the General Election. COVID protocols and physical distancing guidelines will be in place for members and the community coming to vote.

Please exercise caution and patience as we undergo roof repairs. A small portion of our main parking lot is closed for storage containers. Access to the back parking lot will be restricted at times as materials are moved. Thanks for your understanding.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR OUR OCTOBER SAVINGS!

Do you have a friend or family member who isn't a Y member? Or, does your family participate in our programming without having a Y membership? Our NO joiners fee special ends on October 31! Read about the value of a Y membership, share with others and hurry in!

PLAY AND LEARN OPTIONS EXPANDING AGAIN!

UPDATE FOR MEMBERS: Beginning November 5th, Thursday mornings will now be added to the schedule. As of last Monday, October 26th there is now no maximum time limit for your children attending Play and Learn. Please continue to sign up your child to attend. Continuing to sign up allows us to maintain appropriate staff and child ratios.

Kids age 7-12 may attend the Y but must been enrolled in a current program or have a parent in the building. We continue to follow guidance in our "Reopening Responsibly" document.

OCTOBER AND FALL FUN

Active Older Adults enjoyed preschool "trick or treaters" visiting their class and the Harvest Party lunch and fun!

Preschool classes had a great time completing Halloween activities and "trick or treating" around the YMCA facility on Thursday and Friday.

The tradition of Y basketball was represented at this week's United Way Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat!
