137th Birthday Party
Saturday, March 6 • EXACT TIMES TBD IN EARLY 2027
On March 6, 1890, interested citizens gathered to adopt and sign the constitution of our YMCA and elected Willis Richardson as our first Board President. From our move to the “Old Y” in the Godfrey homestead on Main Street in 1924 to our relocation to our current home on Stillwater Avenue in 1979, our Y has seen a lot of growth and change but one thing has remained the same: our commitment to strengthening the communities we serve and creating opportunities for everyone to learn, grow, and thrive. Join us as we kick off our 137th year!
