Friends of the YMCA,

2008 and 2009 have been both rewarding and extremely challenging

years for our YMCA. On one hand, we saw the financial turn-around of the

Jersey Shore Branch due to the dedicated efforts of the staff and volunteers

working together. We also had the opening of the Eastern Lycoming Branch

YMCA in Muncy in July 2008. The EL YMCA has virtually exploded

in popularity and the community continues to support the EL Branch in waysthat we could not have anticipated in our wildest dreams.

On the other hand, like most other nonprofits in our community, the

economic downturn has had a negative effect on our organization. Program

and membership revenue have been down, donations have ebbed and grants

have seemingly dried up. In response, our YMCA has had to make difficult

changes and cutbacks in order to assure that we remain viable into the future.

All that being said, throughout all of 2008 and 2009, one thing

has remained constant: the YMCAs service to our community. By the end

of 2008, the four branches of the Association together provided well over

$300,000 in Y-scholarships to local children and families to ensure that no

one was turned away from YMCA programs/services due to an inability to

pay. The vast majority of this assistance was granted to families needing

preschool and after-school childcare in order to remain gainfully employed.

If there is ever any doubt that the YMCA remains relevant, these

harsh economic times have proven that our community needs a YMCA

now more than ever. In 2009, we fully expect our Y-scholarships to exceed

$400,000.

We would like to thank all of the members, program participants,

volunteers, and donors who have never stopped believing in the YMCAMission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build

a strong Spirit, Mind and Body. With your help and Gods blessing, our

YMCA will continue to quietly, persistently make a huge difference in the

lives of many of our neighbors and friends.
