MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Hello and thank you for being a part of the Mill Creek YMCA community. Rolling into the winter months, we are all back into our normal routines at the YMCA. Swimming, sports, exercise and many different programs throughout the branch and community help to keep us active, safe, and healthy through the indoor season. Winter is also the time of year for the YMCA’s Annual Campaign to raise funds. Our 2017 campaign goal is $145,000 and I invite everyone to participate by volunteering or making a gift. More than just a gym, your YMCA is an important cause and makes a difference in strengthening our community. We provide needed financial assistance to children, families, and seniors. The money we raise is used for program scholarships allowing everyone to participate at the Y. Your participation would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to continuing to serve and meet your needs as a YMCA member. As always; my door is always open for comments and suggestions. Sincerely,
Malaika Brown, Director of Family Engagement & Impact mbrown@ymca-snoco.org 425 224 8041 Sharon Burlison, Member Experience Specialist sburlison@ymca-snoco.org 425 224 8045 Emmy Cornwell, Member Exp.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION NOW IT’S EASIER THAN EVER TO JOIN THE Y! Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The YMCA of Snohomish County is a membership organization and anyone can join. So, with simple monthly dues, you have no contracts or minimum stays to worry about and no sales pitches to endure. Just quality, healthy programs that your whole family can enjoy.
MEMBERSHIP TYPES FACILITY MEMBERSHIP Get full access to fitness centers at all five YMCAs in Snohomish County with a Facility Membership. Choose from a wide menu of free group exercise classes, enjoy lap and recreational swimming, and receive a free wellness orientation when you join. And as a facility member, you’ll be eligible for priority registration and reduced fees on specialty classes and programs for your whole family. PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP If you’re not already a Y Facility Member and want to participate in programs like summer camps, youth sports, swimming lessons and child care, you’ll need an annual Program Membership. You’ll receive the same great level of quality and caring for which the Y is known, but without access to wellness centers and other amenities offered through a full Facility Membership. COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP Belonging is a philosophy at the heart of the Y. Everyone in the community is considered a free Community Member and is welcome to participate in key community events and programs such as fun runs, health fairs, and community education. MY Y IS NOW EVERY Y IN WASHINGTON We want to encourage members to use the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to use a Y in a different location when travelling, near a workplace, or in another region. Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members can use other Y facilities throughout the state. See website for program details. CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP As part of the YMCA’s corporate membership plan, employees will enjoy the benefits of belonging to Snohomish County’s largest and most respected health, wellness, and human service organization. For more information about corporate membership, please contact the our Senior Director of Member and Community Engagement. MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL We believe everyone deserves a Y experience, so the YMCA of Snohomish County offers financial assistance to individuals and families who might otherwise not be able to afford membership or program fees. Ask a staff member about financial assistance.

As a group we plan, plant, build, and grow veggies through most seasons. We work as a team; everyone plays a role to help our garden grow!
ADVANCED CARE PLANNING Ages 18+ What if you were tragically injured in an accident, had a debilitating fall or a life altering diagnosis? Think about it, a medical crisis can hit anyone at any time at any age. Who will be your voice if you are unable to speak? Who will decide if you can’t? Advance care planning is not just about old age. A medical crisis could leave someone too ill to make his or her own healthcare decisions. Get the tools you need! This workshop involves learning about the types of decisions that might need to be made, considering those decisions ahead of time, and then letting others know about your preferences. Now is the time to plan so you can be sure to get the health care you want! Knowing how you would decide takes some of the burden off family and friends. Have the conversation! Wednesday
