Long-time YMCA employee Mary Grissom retires After 19 years of dedicated service to the YMCA, Administrative Assistant Mary Grissom has retired. Mary began her career at the YMCA on Dec. 16, 1991. Since the YMCA facility was just a little over one year old when Mary started, she was instrumental in helping it establish good operating and business practices. The mem-
bers, the Board of Directors, and the staff of the YMCA all wish Mary a happy and well-deserved Cleaton retirement. Tina Cleaton has joined the YMCA staff as the new administrative assistant.
Y soon to snag literary ‘quarry’: local author to hold book-signing Local writer R.J. ‘Bob’ McCarthy will be present for a soon-to-be-announced booksigning at the Henderson Family YMCA. His novel, “Quarry Steps Up: A Tony Quarry / Carolina Mystery,” has just been published and the release

It’s for all those little kiddies
It is the first of July and normal fall, winter, and spring daytime “peacefulness” here at the YMCA has been lost. Why? We have lots and lots and lots of little kiddies here at the YMCA attending the YMCA Summer Day Camp. And, from what I have observed, both the kids and their counselors are having a mighty good time swimming, playing sports and games, and taking some interesting field trips. Even though us “older” folks might miss our peace and quiet, the sounds of the kids remind us all just what the original purpose of the YMCA was: serving youth. Recently, you may have seen or heard news articles about the “re-branding” of the YMCA and the change to a new YMCA logo. All YMCAs are changing to the use of a new, more colorful and modern “scripted” logo moving away from the old “blocked” red and black Y logo. Change is often tough, especially for us “aged” citizens, but the new logo has added a feeling of newness and recommitment to the YMCA purpose. Along with this new look or image, the YMCA has restated the purpose to better define the overall mission. The purpose statement is now: The YMCA is for: • youth development • healthy living • social responsibility
This restatement or new emphasis clearly defines what the YMCA is all about. As I first mentioned, the YMCA has always been involved with the WOODY development of the CAUDLE youth. Serving the youth in commuExecutive Director/CEO nities served by a YMCA is probably the key purpose for existence. Needless to say, the youth are our future and the YMCA is proud to be involved with helping guide the youth in positive directions. Secondly, the YMCA clearly is a leader in the promotion of healthy living. YMCA facilities provide all ages the opportunity to exercise, play, relax, and learn skills that will lead to a healthier life style — all in a healthy environment at a reasonable cost. The Y is always looking for ways to include everyone who will respect the responsibility of being a member and/or a participant in the program. And finally, I should mention social responsibility. All YMCAs are “not-forprofit Christian based organizations” founded by local people to serve the local community. As I have said on
Quality Construction
VANCE
many occasions, the YMCA is open to everyone. A person does not have to be a Christian to be a member but all members of the Y are expected to respect the values promoted by the YMCA. The five YMCA values are: Caring, Honesty, Respect, Faith and Responsibility. The responsibility value is so important to a YMCA. The YMCA must be responsible for serving the community with its services. The Y must teach the youth what it means to be responsible for themselves and responsible to others. The leadership and staff of the Y must be responsible stewards of the YMCA and the many programs it offers to members and the community. The leaders and staff must take responsibility for assuring that the YMCA will be successful now and in the future. In general, the YMCA must be a role model for social responsibility within the community it serves. The YMCA might look a little different and the message might be stated a bit differently. Yet, the “heart of the reason for being” is still the same. The YMCA is here to serve its members and the community in a responsible, caring, and respectful manner. And it all starts with all those little kiddies and the sounds of them learning, playing, and experiencing some life lessons — but most of all, it starts with them having fun.
Bored this summer? Don’t sweat it: activities galore await you at the Y! Several options are available at the YMCA to curb the summertime blues, for kids and adults alike.
Summer Day Camp The Henderson Family YMCA Summer Day Camp provides all day care for children ages Pre-K through rising 8th graders.

Would you contribute to saving a life? Before you know it, the summer will be over and the school year will begin. Summer swimming lessons will have come to an end and it will be time for fall swimming lessons to start. Halloween at the YMCA will be just around the corner. Yes, this year seems to be going really fast but we have to keep water safety in mind, especially considering our proximity to Kerr Lake. The Y is now challenging parents, Parent Teacher Organizations and each school to explore the possibility of sponsoring water safety lessons to be held at the facility.

Cycle North Carolina is coming to Henderson Cycle North Carolina, a part of North Carolina Amateur Sports, has announced that their fall
2011 bicycle ride across North Carolina will include a stop in Henderson. CNC will spend the
night of Oct. 4 at the Henderson Family YMCA. This is an exciting event and a grand opportu-
nity for the community to welcome and showcase over 1,000 cyclists from throughout the state.
Many of the cyclists will be “camping out” at the YMCA with others choosing to stay at local motels. All of the participants will be looking for good meals and shopping opportunities. The YMCA hosted Cycle North Carolina in 2001 and it was a huge success in highlighting our area. There will be special events planned for Oct. 4 and transportation services
provided to the cyclists to move them around the area. The Henderson Family YMCA, the Henderson Vance County Chamber of Commerce, and Harris Incorporated of Henderson will be the coordinating and host sponsors. Other local sponsors will be needed. Please contact Julia Langston at julial@henfamymca.org to be a sponsor or a volunteer.
