Euclid Family Y Fall 2011 Newsletter

Euclid/Hillcrest Collaborative Happenings

A special Thank You to everyone who helped make the 2nd Annual Fill the Truck event a HUGE success. With your donations we were able to hand out close to 400 bags of school supplies to local school children.

The Back to School Rally was also a great event. It was held at our Y on August 12 from 5-7 pm. We had families from all over the Euclid area participate in activities, games, line dancing and so much more. Thank you to all the vendors who participated in the event and all the volunteers. Without you this could never have been possible. A very special THANK YOU to Dollar Tree, Councilman Greg Van Ho, Our Lady of the Lake, Chick-Fil-A, VGS and all of our Collab partners!
 
The Collab also has some great news to share. We have been made an official partner of Shoes and Clothes for Kids. Starting in October we will be receiving donations three to four times a year of brand new clothing and Payless Shoes gift cards for children in need in the city of Euclid and surrounding area. Stay tuned for more information on the eligibility criteria and dates for these events!

Strong Kids Campaign Update

It’s that time again! We have begun our annual campaign and are about $15,000 short of our $25,000 goal. This campaign is designed to raise funds for children, adults and  seniors in our local community that want to attend the Euclid YMCA but are unable to afford the full cost of our memberships and/or programs.

At the YMCA, we do not turn anyone away for the inability to pay. Any individual needing financial assistance can apply for a scholarship by receiving an application from our front desk. All funds raised stay here at our branch to help those in our community. Please consider donating to our campaign so that other children, adults and seniors can experience the YMCA mission of building a healthy spirit, mind and body for all!

John Reid, Director
Euclid Branch

On Saturday August 20, 2011 at 10 am, a special grand re-opening event took place. We have upgraded our fitness, free weight, spinning room and child watches rooms. These efforts are all part of our continuing commitment to you, our members and the community and to provide you with the most exceptional YMCA of Greater Cleveland experience possible each time you visit us.

We hope you will be as excited as we are about the positive changes we are making directly for your benefit. Please tell a friend or two, and encourage them to visit the Euclid Family YMCA. 

We also need your help with our Annual Strong Kids Campaign. Our goal is $25,000 dollars. Please make your donation today.
