Volunteer Spotlight: Dawn Pryor
GIVING BACK
Pryor family dedicated to Y
hoops program future
John Spears is in the gym at the Waynesboro
YMCA at 7:15 am on Saturdays during basketball
season, and not far behind him is a lady who has
been running the concessions tables for the past
22 years.
“It makes for a long day a lot of days,” said Dawn
Pryor, who first volunteered to run concessions for
Y basketball when her daughter, Natasha, now 33,
signed up for youth basketball in 1994.
Now Natasha works with her mother running one
of the two tables – one upstairs, one downstairs –
most weekends.
And Pryor’s four grandchildren - Shyhiem
Washington, Kian Tate, Zaire Tate and Jasiah
White – volunteer their time with Y basketball
themselves.
When the young men aren’t playing, they’re
coaching, refereeing, running the scorer’s table,
or helping out with concessions.
“I want them to understand that you don’t always
have to get paid for the things that you do, and
when you give back to the community, it will come
back to you,” said Pryor, who can’t imagine not
being in the thick of it all, despite the long days.
“It can get rough at times. I’m in here at 7:30 in
the morning on Saturdays, and the games might
not be over until 4, 4:30. But I really enjoy it,”
Pryor said.
Spears can’t imagine not having Pryor to lean on,
either.
“It takes so much pressure off me having
somebody over there that I can trust, and is in
complete control of that area. She does a great
job, and I don’t have to worry about anything,”
said Spears, the youth sports director at the
YMCA. “People don’t have any idea how hard
that job is, but I just get out of the way. She’s
unbelievable how she keeps this operation going.”
And it goes to a good cause. Money generated by
concessions goes to pay for new basketballs and
other equipment for the Y hoops program.
Volunteer at the Y
- Lead our boards of directors and committees
- Raise funds to ensure the Y is accessible to all
members of the community
- Coach our sports teams and teach many of our
classes
- Extend a hand to help adults who want to do more,
be more or live healthier
- Advocate for the Y’s efforts to influence policies and
initiatives that positively impact societal issues of
importance to the community
- Participate in opportunities to give back and support
neighbors
- Help our office/front desk staff and help maintain the
inside and outside of our building.
There are many opportunities at the Waynesboro
Y. Please stop by and fill out a volunteer form
and help us to continue to help our community.
“That’s where this pays off, and it’s a wonderful
feeling knowing that I can help the Y by doing this,”
Pryor said.
And she gets to see her grandchildren grow into
good young men at the same time.
“The peer pressure for youths today is so hard.
There are so many temptations out there. But
seeing them giving back the way they are, I
know if something would happen to me today, at
least I know that they were raised up to be pure
gentlemen. That was my goal, for them to know to
be able to give back. The reward will come to you.
And it’s come to me,” Pryor said.

New personal trainer brings
diverse background to Y
Trish LaGrua, the newest personal trainer at the
Waynesboro YMCA, came to the fitness world from the
unlikeliest of directions.
LaGrua, a certified personal fitness trainer since 2007,
worked for 11 years as a licensed clinical social worker
after graduating from Fordham University in 1993 with a
master’s degree in social work. Her commitment to fitness
dates to her teen years.

LaGrua, who is certified in TRX suspension training,
spinning, zumba, sh’bam and is a 200-hour E-RYT
(Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) working on her
500-hour program.
LaGrua lives in Augusta County with her husband and
three very active boys. Along with exercise, she enjoys
the beach, gardening, reading, singing, dancing, her
dog and most of all, spending time with her friends and
family.
As a personal trainer, she focuses on strength training,
core stabilization, balance, weight loss, functional fitness,
and overall health, including mind, body and spirit.

PiYo delivers fat-burning,
low-impact workout
You don’t have to jump, grunt, strain and punish
your body with the newest fitness class at the
Waynesboro YMCA, PiYo.
“PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming
benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility
advantages of yoga,” said Kari Davis, the group
fitness director at the Y.
PiYo cranks up the speed to deliver a true fatburning, low-impact workout that leaves your body
looking long, lean, and incredibly defined.
“It isn’t like standard Pilates and yoga classes
that make you hold long, intense poses, or lead
you through dozens of repetitive, microscopic
core movements,” said Davis, explaining that PiYo
speeds everything up — including your results — by
introducing you to dynamic, flowing sequences that
can burn serious calories at the same time as they
lengthen and tone your muscles and increase your
flexibility.
“With every action-packed PiYo session, you can
burn excess fat and sculpt and define your whole
NEXT PAGE >>
body, as you minimize the aches and pains that can
come along with high-impact workouts,” Davis said.
No matter your age, no matter your body type, PiYo
will help give you dramatically visible, incredibly
beautiful results.

Weaber family succeeding
in Y swim program
If you’re in the building at the Waynesboro YMCA,
odds are that there’s a Weaber in there with you.
“We are at the Y quite a bit. We’re probably there
eight to ten times a week just with swimming,
which probably equates to 10-plus hours a week
total,” said Jonathan Weaber, who with his wife Lisa
takes turns toting their children – Anna, 10, Aiden,
8, Anderson, 6, and Alex, 4, to swim practices and
lessons at the Y.
Anna and Aiden are members of the Shenandoah
Marlins Aquatic Club swim team. Anderson swims
with the summer league Marlins team, and Alex has
taken swim lessons.
The Weabers moved to Waynesboro three years
ago, and among their first contacts was the Y and
the SMAC swim program.
“SMAC and the Y are our most solid communities
as a family. They’re the networks that we’ve been
closest with, so it’s meant a lot to us being new to
the area,” Weaber said.
As a parent, seeing his children grow and improve
in swimming, a sport that requires self-discipline,
has been a bonus.
“It’s been great for the kids to have that kind of
influence in their lives, especially for our older two
being involved in year-round SMAC,” Weaber said.
“It’s great seeing them excel, seeing them work
hard, set goals. Swimming is an individual sport
in a lot of ways. Watching them grow and mature,
setting goals, working hard, doing hours in the pool
at 10 years old, in a very supportive environment,
has been great.”

Y Childcare kids
build computers
Aside from soaking in the
sun and participating in
fun activities this summer,
Group C has been building
computers to use at the Y.
Every Wednesday for an
hour, the pre-teens build
these complex machines.
Community effort revives playground
It started with the need for a new fence. Eventually, the Waynesboro YMCA
playground got a facelift.
“We went to the opening, and it was great to watch them enjoy the new
playground. It was nice. It came out great. To see their happy faces, it
means a lot,” said Patty Rouse, who with her husband, Bob, donated money
for the new fencing, and for an addition, a five-car train set.
Childcare director Rebecca Patton came across the train set while doing
some research on playgrounds and circled it as being part of a wish list for
the playground.
“The Rouses are very generous when it comes to covering scholarships
for families that can’t afford programming,” said Jeff Fife, the executive
director of the YMCA. “When I approached them about upgrading the
playground - they really stepped up.”
Fife had already asked the Rouses to provide the funding for the new
fencing, which had been mentioned as a priority in a licensing review.
“My wife and I are interested in things that benefit the youth,” Bob Rouse
said. “We got a call from Jeff that this playground equipment was available,
and we elected to go ahead and buy it. We had already agreed to put up
the fence surrounding the playground and some general improvements
there. This was just a nice addition to what was already being done.”
Work on the project began in March with the removal of the old fencing
by childcare staff. A group of cadets from Fishburne Military School
volunteered in shoveling a trench for a new border to be placed for the new
fencing, and the SMAC swim team pitched in, spreading the more than 10
tons of gravel to serve as the base for the playground. The Augusta Home
Builders Association donated a playhouse, and volunteers built and planted
new gardens and removed a dead tree from the center of the play area.
The new playground was dedicated on June 9, and it was an instant hit.
“The children have enjoyed the playground every day,” said Patton. “We
have been able to eat lunch out there and have multiple trips per day. The
generosity of the Rouses, the hard work of our playground maintenance
team and the swim team made it all come together perfectly. If you haven’t
had the opportunity to stop by and check things out, be sure to ride by.”
“It’s a lot of fun!” exclaimed
one child, Alex. “We get to
learn stuff and build stuff!”
he said.
These computers, funded
by a grant from Dominion,
will be used in childcare
for homework and to learn
about various educational
topics. Along with having
fun while building the
computers, the children also
learn an extensive amount
of knowledge about building
computers and computer
terminology.
When asked what his
favorite part was during
the computer building
experience, one child
named Julia said, “I like
to learn new stuff about
computers. Putting the
motherboard in was probably
my favorite part because it
was complicated and I enjoy
being challenged.”
The students presented their
computers and talked about
their experiences on August 3.
