Thanks for your patience—we've been BUSY!
As most of you know, your Y shut down for 2 and a half days so that staff and volunteers could give the Don Stathos Campus and Tennis and Pickleball Center much needed deep cleaning, and make important facility upgrades and improvements. We appreciate everyone's understanding while we invested the time and energy to make our spaces safe, spiffy and sparkling. The next time you visit, we hope you see the difference!
