BE THE GOOD

GALA

It was truly a night to remember as more than 330 area residents helped the Greater Joliet Area YMCA raise nearly $115,000 at its BE THE GOOD Gala on Saturday, October 12, at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Guests enjoyed an elegant evening that included dinner, live entertainment and opportunities to bid on an assortment of silent and live auction items. Funds raised from the event will benefit the Y’s financial assistance program, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the organization due to the inability to pay. Since its inception, the Y’s signature fundraising event has raised more than $1 million to provide financial assistance for membership and programs that benefit families within our community. Thank you to our generous sponsors who helped make this event possible and to the generous donors who were attendance that night.

This year’s Gala volunteer committee members included: Annie Gretencord, Karen Haas, MaryKay Hrdina, Mark Johnson, Maria Macris, Nick Macris, Alexa Midlock, Kristin Orban, Ryan Peterson, Karen Rouse and Barb Ziegner. Senior Development Director Julie Wilkinson and Annual Giving Manager Brittney Halliday provided staff leadership, with Volunteer and Development Operations Director Dori Fugate playing a key supporting role.

YMCA Swim Lesson Policies and Procedures 1. The first day of each session is reserved for swim testing and evaluations.

If you have a question about your child’s swim stage after the first day of class, please speak to your child’s instructor. 2. Children will be moved up to the next stage once all of the skills in the previous level have been mastered. Many skills in certain levels are dependent on physical development, strength and coordination. Please remember that each child is unique and develops at his or her own rate, and that progression through these stages varies greatly. 3. The Aquatics Department reserves the right to cancel and/or combine classes due to low enrollment.

Make-up Lessons and Swim Credit 1. One make up class may be accommodated per session if schedules allow. Either 24 hours notice, or a doctor’s note, must be provided in order to schedule a make up.
