The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the Program Director at the Christian County YMCA, at their Tuesday noon meeting at the Moose Lodge.
Tanner Jones shared with Kiwanis members that numbers for many of the Y’s programs have increased in the past 12 months, due to the recent capital campaign enabling the Y to remodel and refurbish much of the facility.
56 children participated in this summer’s Day Camp, while spring soccer saw 215 kids enroll. Fall soccer already has 90 children registered, and the recent Back to School Fair co-sponsored with Taylorville Memorial Hospital enabled nearly 200 children to receive back packs and other services on-site.
Jones added that Teen Center and Grade School Parties at the Christian County YMCA will be ramping up this fall, with the new gym helping program numbers. Jones reminded Kiwanis members that the pool at the Y will be closed for repairs August 24 to September 7th.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
