WHAT'S NEW AT THE YMCA

GET ACTIVE AND BE HEALTHY AT THE Y!  JOIN IN FEBRUARY AND PAY-THE-DAY  

It's never been easier to get active and be healthy at the Y. Join in February and you'll only pay-the-day in joiner's fees!

It works like this: your joiner's fee is $1 if you  join on the 1st, $2 if you join on the 2nd, and so on. It's a great opportunity to hurry up and save on health and fitness! Even if you wait until Feb. 29, you'll still save $71 on a family membership or $41 on an adult membership!

Y membership payment options include cash, check, monthly credit card or bank draft. Don't delay ... pay-the-day! Click here for membership details.

CHOOSE 4-ON-4 FUN THIS WINTER WITH THE NEW MEN'S BASKETBALL LEAGUE! 

Get your team together, because registration is open for the Y's new 4-on-4 men's basketball league, which runs February 12 through April or May (depending on league size). League ball is a great way to keep fit, share fellowship and have fun!

Games will be held Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:15-8:15 pm in the main gym. A mandatory captain’s meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 7 pm.

A $75 team fee is due at registration, with individual fees of $35 for Y members ($50 for community) due when rosters are turned in.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15th IS NAME TAG DAY AT THE Y. IT'S A FUN WAY TO GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS! 

Do you see someone at the Y all the time and don’t know their name? Here’s a chance to get to know them!  When you scan in, just write your first name on a name tag – it’s that easy!  Plus, participants can enter a drawing for Y merchandise. Don't miss a chance to join the fun and meet new friends!

HAVE A NIGHT OUT WHILE YOUR KIDS ARE SAFE @ THE Y!

Three evenings in February you can enjoy a terrific night out while your 4-12 year old kids have a great time at the Y!
