WELCOME TO THE Y! WE’RE HERE FOR YOU
DEAR MEMBERS & PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, If you have not been back to the Y yet, you will not believe the transformation. Prior to the shut-down we had nearly completed an $8 Million renovation and expansion aimed at better serving you and our community. The project is now complete, and we’re so excited for new opportunities for our members. The following Program Guide highlights our current offerings. We’re offering programs for all ages, inperson and virtual. No matter your comfortability level, we want to meet the needs of our community during this time. We’re happy that we can still do that, and we’re hopeful for the future! In the meantime, I encourage you to come in for a tour at your convenience so you can see first-hand, the seriousness with which we take your safety, and the many ways we are working to provide you with an enjoyable Y experience. Thank you again for choosing to be a member of the YMCA community and please reach out to us with any questions you may have. We are excited to see all of you and we know you will love your newly renovated and expanded YMCA. Sincerely, Rick MacPherson President and CEO MetroWest YMCA
