The Christian County YMCA is preparing for several fundraising efforts in the early part of the year.  It’s part of their mission to ensure everyone who wishes to take part in their programs is able to do so.  Speaking of programs, they are in full swing in the new year, including in the form of sports they had not provided for some time. 

In the next fundraiser, the Y is raffling off a grill.  Executive Director Bruce Blanshan says drive-through dinners are also in the works. 

For the drive-through dinners and dine-to-donate campaigns, Blanshan is also looking to increase the geographical reach of the restaurants that take part. 

As for sports programs, they have started a program for the sport of futsal.  Futsal is a five-a-side variation of soccer which is played on a hard surface.  The Y uses its existing facilities to host the program.

The Christian County YMCA is able to host groups, from small birthday parties to entire school grades.  Their location has hosted schools from longer distances thanks to the many offerings available. 

A number of maintenance projects are either in progress or planned for later.  They include indoor painting and an entrance awning.
