Iowa Tax Sale Day

YMCA News
For Immediate News Release :

The Montgomery County Family YMCA was blessed to have eight volunteers and two staff members give part of their day to work the Union County (Creston, IA) and Fremont County (Sidney, IA) Iowa Tax Sale Program.

Through the efforts of the following individuals the YMCA was able to raise $600 in a morning to work these two county tax sales that take place throughout the state of Iowa on the third Monday in June annually.

The $600 raised on the 16^th of June benefited the YMCA’s 2014 “The Y. So Much More” annual campaign.

This program annually honors the YMCA’s long lasting policy that “No is denied” at the YMCA due financial limitations as well as assisting programming expenses to operate many YMCA youth programs that simply need to be subsidize .

YMCA volunteers and staff that assisted with the 2014 Iowa Tax Sale were: ( in the picture left to right):

Al Nelson, Judy Podliska, Nick Zimmer, Diane Sifford, Rev. George Hooper, Chris Amos, John Blomstedt and Ellen Olson (all from Red Oak, IA). Bill & Mary Jane Gilbert of Malvern, IA also volunteered for the program but were not in the photo.

The YMCA’s 2014 annual campaign goal has been set at $56,000 and through the dedicated work of YMCA volunteers and staff the YMCA has raised $38,000. If you have not made your personal gift to the annual campaign program and no gift is too small one can do so by simply mailing or dropping off their gift to the
