The Rye Y Story Project

Bernadette's Story

"I love the Rye Y. I have met the nicest people and have made many new friends."

I have spinal stenosis and swimming is one of the best forms of treatment. I had been exercising at other gyms, but none of the workouts seemed to be helping me. I decided to join the Rye Y and try their water exercise programs, and I am so glad I did. I only wish I had joined here sooner! The water exercise class is like medicine to me and has helped my spinal stenosis more than I ever thought possible.

NEW PLAYGROUND AT THE RYE Y

Thanks to the efforts of 16-year-old Matthew Pellegrini, a member of the Rye Y and Boy Scout Troop 2, our new playground has arrived! As part of his Eagle Scout project, Matthew researched and raised money for the equipment, which will be used for our Early Learning Center and Pre-School Enrichment program. On February 22, Matthew, his fellow troop members and his dad and brother began the installation of the playground. Thank you Matthew! (Shown in center with arm raised).

COACH TATUM HONORED AT IONA

We are happy to announce that Coach Tatum was inducted into the Iona University Hall of Fame on February 28. From Iona:

“One of the greatest women's soccer players to don the Maroon & Gold, Tatum Nussbaum '99 still stands atop the Iona University record book in several categories. She was a part of Iona's first-ever women's soccer championship in 1992. Tatum is Iona's all-time leader with 32 goals scored, 15 assists, six game winning goals and 79 total points and was a member of the All-American Team.” The Rye Y is very proud of Tatum's achievements.
