The dates for the public forums sponsored by the YMCA regarding possible renovations or a new facility have been announced. They will be held January 6th and 27th, both are at 6 p.m. at the YMCA and in March the board will review the input from the forums and decide the next step of action. Board Director Edie Nebel stated at last night’s YMCA reception that a capital campaign could begin in May.

At the reception, Director Becky Harkema spoke as well as members of the YMCA in Washington and Wellman, who told stories about the positive impact their programs have had, from weight loss to a sense of community.
