Message From Our CEO – Tina Carter

CEO of ymca

Dear Friends,
I hope that this message finds you and your families well and looking forward to a great fall season. We are excited to be participating in the Meadville Halloween Parade again this year. Every year walking along the parade route, no matter what the weather, I love seeing so many happy smiling faces. This brings true joy to my heart. As always, we will be passing out candy to young and old alike, if you would like to join our crafting of the float or walking dressed up, please let us know.

Our final fundraising event to support our Fairview Fairmont YKids Club and our free dinners is on November 5th, 2022, at Active Aging. We will be hosting a Tool and Designer Purse Bingo, you bingo you choose your prize. Our goal is to raise $10,000 at this event, please come out and support your local YMCA. One final thought to share-                                                                  “Autumn is the season to find contentment at home by paying attention to what we already have.” 

                                                           – author unknown.
                                                           Happy Fall,
                                                           Tina Carter
                                                           CEO
