MOULTRIE YMCA
November 2014 - January 2015
From the Director…
Thanks for being part of the Moultrie Y family!
As we approach the end of the year, we can look back at many positive
changes at our YMCA.
We have provided nutritious meals for more than 250 kids to eat at the end
of each day this school year, a program that actually began this summer.
Our staff ran a summer program at Stringfellow Elementary to help kids
overcome Summer Learning Loss and we saw great success with that sixweek program. We also have started four 21st Century Community Learning
Center after school programs to provide tutoring. We are grateful for the
community’s support of these programs, and to the four churches that are
hosting our programs: First Baptist Church, Heritage Church, Friendship
Alliance Church, and Mount Olive Baptist Church.
In addition to those programs, we have renovated the Wellness Center and
kicked off a Cancer Survivor’s program, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA.
At press time, we are close to hiring our new Mentoring Director, so we’ll
email updates for all of our Mentors very soon.

year and registration is on-going! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to
