AMAZING LEARNING EXPERIENCES 2013 FALL PROGRAM GUIDE September through December FOND DU LAC FAMILY YMCA 90 W Second Street Fond du Lac, WI 54935 P 920.921.3330 W fdlymca.org
Healthy Choices Shape our Future I recently read a simple statement that said, “Our beliefs shape our future”. How simple yet powerful that statement is. Every day at the YMCA, members come to make healthy choices— choices that help to shape their own future. For example, when a family signs their children up for swim lessons they are investing in the future health and wellness of those kids. Or when an Active Older Adult joins a Silver Sneakers class with other Active Older Adults they are shaping a healthier retirement that can be spent with children and grandchildren. The YMCA is thankful every day that over 20% of the Fond du Lac Community believes in making healthy choices through the YMCA—choices that shape their own future. By taking time to do something healthy you are setting yourself up for future success. These healthy choices start to become the fabric of your life and quickly turn into important things you believe in. As our healthy choices turn into beliefs in our life, those beliefs truly do shape our future. I encourage you to continue to make healthy choices with the YMCA. Yours in Service, Greg Giles Executive Director/CEO

Annual Support Campaign The generosity of others is at the core of the Y’s existence as a nonprofit. It is only through the support of our thousands of volunteers and public and private donors that we are able to support and give back to the communities we engage. The Y has been helping people in Fond du Lac strengthen their spirits, minds and bodies for over 100 years. As a cause-driven, nonprofit organization, the YMCA puts Christian principles into action, providing a host of services for those in our community. But we still need your help. In these challenging economic times, more people than ever need assistance. Contributions to the Annual Support Campaign enable us to offer a number of our programs and services at low or no cost, and to make assistance available to make participation affordable.
Will you help us as a donor or volunteer fund-raiser to ensure that everyone can be a part of the Y? For more information on how you can make a donation to the Y or on becoming a volunteer fund-raiser, please contact Greg Giles at 920.921.3330, or email ggiles@fdlymca.org. 4 | Fond du Lac Family YMCA :: 920.921.3330 :: www.fdlymca.org
ADVOCACY & COLLABORATION Through strong community collaborations and partnerships, the Y works to meet the needs of the community and those we serve through a variety of avenues and opportunities.
Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac The Y and Boys & Girls Club are committed to
strengthening our community through programs that nurture the full potential of our youth providing guidance and support to help them lead healthy and enriching lives. All youth in grades 1 to 12 with a full-paid YMCA membership receive a complimentary school-year membership to the Club, entitling the child to participate in the Club afterschool program (based on space availability), and on days off and half-days of school. A few of the other programs we have developed as a result of this revolutionary collaboration include Just Play, a free afterschool program that encourages youth to stay active by doing some sort of physical activity, Kidz Fit, a physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle program for children in third grade, Teen fitness classes, and monthly family night events. Forms available at the Y Front Desk.
Fond du Lac Area School District The YMCA Child Care Center is a community
Living Well FDL Coalition The Living Well FDL coalition is a combination of the Healthy Kids & Community
Coalition as well as additional key stakeholders in the Fond du Lac community. The coalition is comprised of individuals representing multiple sectors within Fond du Lac county, including healthcare, education, business, parents, not-for-profit agencies, recreation/fitness, and government. As community volunteers, the coalition is working to positively affect community wellness, by promoting and facilitating system changes in order to make it easier for Fond du Lac residents to live a healthier lifestyle. As was evidenced by the key findings in the most recent County Health Priorities Survey, obesity remains a top concern in Fond du Lac County with 30% of residents being obese. The goal of the coalition is to increase the number of people in our county who are at a healthy weight for their height.
