Montgomery County Family YMCA Press Release (Red Oak, Iowa)
September, 2016

The Montgomery County Family YMCA held its 2016 annual four person golf tournament on Saturday, September 17th, 2016 at the beautiful Red Oak County Club. Eighteen teams of 72 players from Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas came out and enjoyed the perfect late summer weather day. All proceeds for the golf tournament benefit the 2016 Annual Campaign “The Y.

Both Sieck and Olson shared the importance of government and the YMCA organization working together to serve area residents in the areas of health/wellness, youth development and social responsibility needs.

 The YMCA was able to raise over $5,000 through this event with the support of all the golfers, aid of the Red Oak Country Club, and from contributions from hole and prize sponsors.

YMCA Immediate News Release Public Service Announcement
 – September, 2016

”MY Y IS NOW EVERY Y IN IOWA”

The Y movement is for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace, or in another region. Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members have the flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout the state, at no extra charge.

HOW IT WORKS

Simply present your active YMCA membership card and photo ID at any participating YMCA and enjoy free access.

PROGRAM DETAILS

? The Reciprocal Membership Program is valid for YMCA full facility/full privilege members only. Program –only participants may upgrade to a full membership at any time to qualify. Silver Sneakers® members may use other Silver Sneakers® locations only.

? Visitors to other Y’s must present a valid YMCA membership card and photo ID upon their first visit and complete a visiting member waiver or standard membership application form with liability waiver.

? YMCA full facility/full privilege members must use their home branch at least 50% of the time. Program discounts do not apply. Participating YMCA reserve the right to restrict facility or program access. Other restrictions may apply.

FIND YOUR Ys

For a complete list of participating YMCAs and complete details, visit your local Welcome Center or YMCA website.

So get out, explore, and stay connected to the Y!

On Sunday, August 28^th, Faith Community Church had one church service at 9 am and then the congregation broke up into different groups to volunteer around Red Oak as part of the Love Thy Neighborhood project.

We appreciate all the hard work at Montgomery County Family YMCA done by the group led by Steve & Sheryl Bruning that consisted of Vicki Maschka; Donna Woodfill; Diane Adkisson; Michael Johnson; Riley, Dyan, Jackson, and Sawyer Perdue; Justin and Sarah Umlandt; and Jonathan, Anne, Ethan and Beth Stewart on Sunday, August 28th.

The men took care of the two mulch areas near the Red Oak Fire station – Legion Park Pillar entrances and dug out the bushes on both sides, mowed the Sports Complex Flag Football Field, swept the middle of the YMCA parking lot, and walked the entire property and grounds to pick up trash, sticks and pull large weeds.

The women and kids wiped down the machinery in the Health/Wellness Center, dusted the track rails around the entire track, Health/Wellness area, window ledges, etc., cleaned the lockers and benches in the special needs, women’s, and men’s locker rooms, vacuumed the tennis center viewing area, the main hallway, and lobby, swept behind the curtains on the south runway area and the east wall of the Carder Tennis Center, and picked up trash in the tennis center viewing area.

The YMCA can only thank Faith Community Church for leading this project for organizations like the YMCA and others in our community.

For more information on how one can become a member, volunteer, donor, or simply involved with the Montgomery County Family YMCA, please stop in for a visit or tour of the YMCA, call the YMCA at 712-623-2161, visit the YMCA on Facebook, or the Y’s website at www.mcymca.com.
