HOME! HOLIDAY YOUR Program Guide
YOUR HOLIDAY HOME! NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 Program Guide NEW BRITAIN-BERLIN YMCA THE SEASON OF GIVING... What if all the Black Friday money we spent on dollar store garland and low-end electronics went somewhere different this year? What if we took just a small portion of that cash and used it to help people in need? What if the next time you came to the Y, you knew that family playing basketball was only here because your gift made it possible? Maybe your holiday season would feel extra special this year. ymca.net/give We’re more than a gym. We’re a cause. 2 2 YOUTH SPORTS Alton F.
