Y SPORTS PUT FUTURE LEADERS
IN THE STARTING LINEUP
We love to play the game! We want to teach
and share the skills and fundamentals that
will inspire kids to play correctly! We believe
that sports are a great tool to teach the
values that will eventually create great adults
and community leaders. Join us this season for
Winter Basketball & Cheerleading, as well as
indoor soccer, baseball and floor hockey!
Working out with someone is so much
easier than alone - for motivation,
support and the social aspect. The Y
offers a variety of classes that enable
a ‘team’ environment. The instructors
are friendly and helpful - as is the staff.
Even the custodians know me by name
and that’s awesome. The free Wellness
Coaching helps so many people who just
don’t know where to start. There’s so
much to love about the Y!”
-Nicole Brady
The Y is so family friendly [and a]
very comfortable atmosphere [where]
everyone is accepted for who they are...”
-Debbie Dierkes
“At the Y, you are made to feel a part of
the community. You are always among
friends at the Y!”
-Gail Riedesel
“The Y is a wholesome place for all ages
and all levels of physical activity.”
-Patrick Sprague
“Everyday people work out here! It feels
like a community focused on wellness
rather than a place just to try to look
skinnier or more beautiful.”
-Melissa Flowers
“Of all the fitness choices around, the
Y offers so much more for the whole
family. We find ourselves spending as
much time socializing and meeting new
friends as we do on the machines
or in classes. It truly is a center
designed for everyone!”
-Scott Brady
“My kids and I love the
Y! The children’s classes
and programs are the
perfect amount of time to
keep their focus. The staff is
OUTSTANDING. They remember
every child, and are always warm,
welcoming and encouraging!”

AWESOME
ADVENTURE
RIGHT DOWN
THE RIVER
Camp Abe Lincoln is a residential
and day camp where we put children
in intentional situations that will
positively impact their life. Campers
will have the opportunity to paddle in
a canoe, shoot bows and arrows and
ride a horse, but more importantly,
they will learn self-confidence,
independence, community, friendship,
and spiritual growth. We change lives
every day.
Let’s Start YOUR Adventure!
We are now accepting registrations
for our summer adventures. Make
sure to sign up soon before it is too
late!
Give the gift of Camp Abe Lincoln
for the holidays this year! Memories
last an entire lifetime!
DANCE YOURSELF HAPPY
Throughout history, people have danced to feel good.
We use dance to teach kids discipline, to get exercise, to
celebrate and to have fun! Join us at our Dance Recital on
December 17th at North Auditorium from 1 to 3:30 pm
with refreshments to follow at the North Family YMCA.
We also have dance classes for adults that are great for
every level. In addition, we have been supporting new
“Dance For Me” seminars designed to spread the healthy
spirit, mind and body effects of dance to kids all over!

As a teenager, I learned how to swim and
play team sports. I was taught winning
wasn”t the only thing and teamwork and
understanding were valuable. Growing
up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in the fifties
- when minorities were not allowed in
restaurants - the YMCA was a place
where all were welcome. I even had the
honor of meeting a young Hank Aaron!
He was treated great, just like every one
else.”
-Richard Farmer
“It‘s brought us closer as a family. We
do so much more together at the Y! My
kids beg to go! Plus it’s allowed us to try
things as a family that we’ve never done
before.”
-Ignazia Bull
“A visit to the YMCA is the perfect start
to every day. I appreciate the smiles at
the front desk and the friendly banter
in the locker room. I love the pool with
the friendly lifeguards, chatty seniors
and sunny skylights. As a middle-aged
guy with stents, I need a good workout
to stay fit. Over 20 years, the staffers
and members have become extended
family. The YMCA is truly a pillar of this
community, and I am happy to call it my
home away from home.”
-Norm Bower
“I love the Y for all the programs offered,
especially the warm pool with aerobic
exercises for those with arthritis or other
ailments. It allows my sister and I a way
to get exercise in a safe, friendly and
therapeutic environment. Everyone, from
the staff to the instructors, are so kind
and professional. I’m a big fan!”
-Marta Nelson
“It’s the best possible atmosphere
to promote the development of lifeextending habits. Congenial staff, wellmaintained equipment, clean, healthy
facility and compatible open hours make
the Y the ideal destination to build a
lifestyle for longer more pleasant living.”
