YMCA News Release Tuesday, August 5th, 2014
The Montgomery County Family YMCA and the Red Oak
Rotary Club continue to strengthen their partnership and tremendous support of
the YMCA . The Rotary Club made a recent he donation of $850 through our 80% share of
the can/bottle program coordinated for July at the Red Oak Rotary Club and Red
Oak Optimist Club can/bottle shed just south of the Fareway Grocery Store in
Red Oak. The month of July was coordinated by the Red Oak Rotary Club.
The Rotary
Club earned $212 with the total
collected being $1,062. This was $62 more than last year when the Rotary Club arrived
at the $1,000 mark for the first time in club history with the program.
All proceeds
will be placed into the YMCA’s “The Y. So Much More” annual campaign funds.
These funds are used to assist local, county, and area residents that are
experiencing financial limitations who otherwise might not be able to become
members of the Y. With this generous donation our annual campaign program is
now up to over $42,000, with still some work to be done yet to raise our goal
of $56,000.
The Montgomery County Family YMCA and Red Oak Rotary Club are proud to work
together towards making Red Oak and the surrounding area a better place to live
and work in. We value their annual support with this project and the Y will be
looking forward to doing this project again next July, 2015.
The Montgomery County Family YMCA’s Four Person Best Ball Golf Tournament will take place on Saturday, September 20th,2014 at 9 a.m. at the beautiful Red Oak Country Club in Red Oak, Iowa. One can form their team now, considering volunteering at the event, become a hole sponsor or door prize/flag prize donor towards this fun filled fall event. All proceeds will benefit the YMCA’s “The Y. So Much More” annual campaign program.

you can become a member or volunteer, please call Nick Zimmer, YMCA Executive
