#BeCauseY

We know this is the second newsletter you've received recently but...

...we just have so much to share! Read on to find out about some extra fun happenings and special updates from the Findlay YMCA. And in case you missed the previous newsletter, you can read that here.

Staff Town Hall

Our staff recently gathered for a special meeting where we welcomed Ruth Knous of the Ohio Alliance of YMCAs. Ruth challenged staff to come up with 6 words to describe the impact of the Findlay YMCA. Of the hundreds of responses, the most common answers were CONNECTION, COMMUNITY, SUPPORT, SAFETY, and FAMILY. All of these elements are present from the moment an individual applies for an open position to sitting down for safety trainings and throughout their entire career at the Y. We are proud of our staff for their commitment to making the Y a safe place for people to connect, learn, grow, and play.

To learn more about our work culture and what we do to keep the Y as safe and welcoming as possible for our community, click the word cloud below!

Mother Daughter Barre

Moms, are you looking for a unique activity to do with your daughter (or daughters)? Bring her along to a Mom & Daughter Barre class on May 14th at 5:30 pm. Enjoy quality time at the Y while setting an example of healthy living that she will remember through the years!

Ages 10 and Up

Members: $12 for 2/$3 per additional daughter

Nonmembers: $20 for 2/$5 per additional daughter

And don't forget our Daddy Daughter Dance on May 10th!

Shark Book & Cook

This month's Book and Cook features the book "I'm Getting a Shark!" by Brady Smith. Bring your Pre K-3rd grader to listen to a fun story about a little girl who think she's getting a pet shark for her birthday but ends up with an entirely different surprise focused on the importance of conservation. The short story will be followed by games and a themed snack!

Members: $12

Nonmembers: $24

First Aid/CPR/AED Training

There are still spots available for our First Aid, CPR, and AED training at our Downtown branch. The world is a safer place when more people are equipped with techniques that could save lives. The American Red Cross course will be held at our Downtown Branch in the West Pool Lounge on May 9th from 6-9 pm.

The cost is $76 for members and $114 for nonmembers. The reward of having a role in creating a safer community is priceless.

Blood Drive

While we're on the subject of saving lives, we have a blood drive coming up on May 16th from 9 am to 3 pm. This small act of kindness and generosity can make a big difference.

To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit RedCrossBlood.org and use sponsor code: YMCAFINDLAY
