A Letter from Mary Burns, President & CEO
Dear Friends, The legendary tennis player Venus Williams once said, “believe in yourself even when no one else does. That’s the makings of a winner.” I couldn’t agree more. At the Y, we believe in human potential. Sometimes the barrier to success is simply a need for a helping hand. To that end, I’m thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with the State of Vermont’s Blueprint For Health. The Y will take an active role helping the State implement personal-empowerment workshops designed to support those living either with difficult chronic conditions or trying to prevent the onset of one. The workshops are free and led by trained instructors who bring knowledge, compassion and tangible tools to help individuals better manage living with Arthritis, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Migraine headaches, Crohn’s Disease, MS and other ongoing health conditions. The Y will also connect smokers to smoking cessation classes and promote WRAP - Wellness Recovery Action Plan for those seeking an effective plan to deal with unwanted feelings or behaviors. And we will continue to offer the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program. To date, the program has helped 348 participants in 31 locations prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. These health self-management programs are evidence based. They work. And they are free. Take advantage of them. If you do, I can assure you 2015 will be a happier and healthier year. Here’s to your health,
Mary Burns President & CEO

FILL THE BUS Kids in the Y Afterschool Program helped us raise awareness for the number of children who attend Y programs and camps with support from financial assistance. They made faces to attach to our giant Y bus and Y members and friends helped “fill it,” through their donations. Mr. Tony Pomerleau inspired larger gifts by offering a generous matching gift. Thank you!
“
I believe we must care for all children. Not just our own. The Y helps nurture the youngest children and helps them grow into compassionate and responsible members of our community. As a a father, grandfather, businessman & active community member, I am grateful the Y is here to help shape future generations.
