WELCOME!
Dear Members and
Guests:
Summer is fast approaching and I am very
excited about our busy and bright facility! We
are so blessed to have such wonderful
volunteers within this community and each day I
am reminded by the many faces I see offering an
ear, a hand, or a simple smile. Thank you for
being a part of our Mission-Driven Organization
where we believe in healthy spirit mind and
body for All.
We have been working hard to improve the
efficiency of our building and top on our list
was the pool lighting. I am elated to share
that the lighting has been replaced and we are
enjoying a much healthier environment within
the natatorium. If you haven’t seen the
improvement, please make a point to do so as it
will astonish you! More improvements are to
come, and I thank all of you for helping with
the improvements thus far.
Over the past few months I have been meeting
many individuals within the Y and community and
have learned that most do not know of
our Mission and or the scholarships we
give away on a yearly basis. Each year, we
receive over 200 applications for financial
assistance for membership and program at our
YMCA. It is within our Mission that we do not
turn anyone away regardless of their ability to
pay. This year, we are giving away over
$120,000.00 in scholarships to youth, family,
and seniors within the Piscataquis Region.
Without local support and philanthropy, we
could not provide the services and programs we
do for so many in need. Please consider the
YMCA when giving to those in need. There is no
greater gift than to belong.
Please take a look at our summer schedules and
events and give yourself a pat on the back for
supporting such a wonderfully diverse
Membership Organization.
Sincerely,
Erika Weidner
