message from the president
wrap up my tenure as president and
olunteer of�cer for the Greater Wichita
YM
this falla
truly feel like celebrating.
elebrating the amazing work accomplished by
Y volunteersa members and staff over the past two years.
he road hasn’t always been smooth in this rocky economya but the team
’ve had the
privilege of leading has always remained focused.
nda that focus has brought success.
We’ve celebrated our 125th
nniversary. We’ve changed more lives than ever before
through activities at our Y branches and more than 100 community-based program sites.
We’ve helped more families with free and assisted
trong kids programs the ever beforea
and we’ve laid the groundwork for meeting our goal to serve 3 out of every 4 kids in the
community by 2013 with six major capital expansion projects.
eedless to saya it’s been a very busy two years.
my term concludesa because the Y isn’t slowing down one bit in its commitment to
strengthening our community.
n facta its commitment is gaining momentum.
or examplea the
very kid capital expansion projects are in full swing to provide new
opportunities for area families.
amp Hyde has already seen its expanded lake and nature
center serve an additional 100 campers each week this past summera and it will add a new
equestrian center and outdoor pool to serve more kids next summer.
outh Y wrapped up phase one on its new outdoor sport complex with the addition of
turf �eldsa �eld lightinga permanent goal posts and parking. When phase two is complete it
will further expand outdoor sport opportunities as well as offer a walking path.
orthwest Y’s renovation and expansion is underway and will add more than 10a000
sq. ft. of space for youth dancea cheera tumbling and wellness programs this winter (watch
for details later this year on new classes).
onstruction is also progressing on the new
entral
amily YM
CA
(pictured).
his �agship Ya opening late
2012a will bring numerous opportunities to local families.
he Y also added operation of the Garvey
ports
enter
(1410
. Glendale) this year and will offer basketball
practices and games for
ast and
orth Y families this fall.
n addition to these projectsa the Y also launched a variety of adaptive programs (p. 15) this
past year and will be lauching a series of disease management programs (p. 7) this fall.
ike
saida we aren’t slowing down.
Most importantlya all of this momentum is part of the Y’s commitment to improving the
community through youth developmenta healthy living and social responsibility.
hank you for helping to make this possible.
nda thank you for letting me be a part of
this YM
journey.

swim the entire length of the pool.
