Bay Harbor Grant helps expand YMCA Afterschool classes
The Bay Harbor Foundation provided us with a $6K grant in January 2009 for classes that focus on physical activity, healthy choices and fitness opportunities with a goal of involving around 200 upper elementary and middle school age students. With a classes ranging from yoga, snow shoeing, youth aerobics and hip hop dance to healthy cooking classes, these Activate America’s Youth programs are under the supervision of Jennifer Crockett, YMCA Program Director, and will be taught by local experts and volunteers. These new classes will introduce students to more physical movement, fitness education and lifestyle improvement.
New Faces at the YMCA
This winter the YMCA has added two new friendly faces at the YMCA. Connie Huizenga will be in the YMCA office Monday through Friday. Connie brings with her an extensive business and fitness background as well as her upbeat positive energy. A mother of 2 teen sons, she especially enjoys interacting with middle school to high school age kids. Connie is an avid animal lover, a ferocious reader, enjoys scrap booking, gardening and outdoor activity in most any capacity. Her son Colin, a freshman at PHS, volunteers at the Y-Center.
Shanna Wemigwase is our new Marketing Intern from North Central Michigan College. She will be with us for twelve weeks this winter imparting her knowledge and expertise of marketing into YMCA events and programs, focusing on Pathfinders, our Summer Camp aimed at 6th-8th grade students. Shanna lives in the area with her family and has been a great asset to the YMCA. Welcome Shanna and Connie!
