YMCA Expansion

Below is a letter from the YMCA Director, Mike Lieber, to Barry Ritchey:

Dear Barry,  " "A Promise to Our Community" is the slogan which our capital campaign will continue to use as we work hard to promote the East side facility.  Again, thank you for your recent gift to make this happen.  Imagine the wonderful feeling that we will receive when the Martens gym is alive with young basketball players and the East side has a ton of kids enjoying the youth center and the open courts. 

The Bible verse quoted is "people without a vision will perish"; it is so wonderful to be able to articulate our vision of the East side and see the community respond.  Our children and our community will be stronger because of your vision and your financial support.

I look forward to our celebration and the grand opening of the newest services being to answer the needs and demands of our community.  I can't express how deeply grateful that I am for your continued support."

Standing Stone wishes Mike Lieber and the rest of the YMCA staff a smooth and successful transition into their new building.  We look forward to seeing you there!
