Dear Members,

For many, spring means the return of sunshine — the days become longer, the weather

becomes milder, there is a lift of spirits and attitudes with those you meet and see each

day, and there are a lot more smiles!!! And so it is with this in mind that we would like to share

with you some of our hopes for this coming spring and that more in our communities

will smile knowing…

The�YMCA�is�a�charity… and is committed to strengthening our communities by providing financial

assistance through our Annual Support Campaign to develop programs and services that help to

build a healthy spirit, mind and body…

we�serve�all… everyone in our communities deserves a place where they have the opportunity to grow,

learn and thrive. We are here for you, your neighbors, and anyone who needs our help to be healthy…

You�make�a�difference… With your financial support of our Annual Support Campaign we will be

able to help more individuals, families, and seniors who need our help. And with your helping hands

as a volunteer we can reach out and strengthen the community around us — creating many more

smiles on faces and in hearts.

Together… we�can�make�a�difference!

Thank you, Cheryl Botieri, Vice President of Mission Advancement

New Location… same Great Camp!

…at eastern Nazarene College!Welcome to camp! With construction of the new building taking place on our former camp grounds, we are excited

to tell you about the next chapter of our summer camp programs in Quincy. Starting this summer, our Quincy camp will

be located at Eastern Nazarene College — a mere 5 minute drive from the Y on East Elm Ave. Each and every time we

visit the campus, we continue to get more and more excited about the future of camp. The space is extremely camp

conducive and offers us many options not possible during our time at the Y.

The campus is the perfect size — small enough to be well-contained, yet large

enough to give each activity dedicated space. On warm, sunny days, there is

plenty of wide open field space as well as smaller, shaded grass areas. On rainy

days, we have access to numerous classrooms, multipurpose rooms, halls and

gym space. As there is not a pool at ENC, we will be transporting campers

to and from the YMCA to ensure campers can continue having instructional

and recreational swim time. Overall, all of us are extremely excited about

the future of camp and even more excited for you to see our new home!

The South Shore YMCA Summer Day Camps are specifically designed

to provide a safe and fun environment to offer opportunities for

young people to try new things, learn, grow and make friendships that

last forever. Our philosophy is that we must make the most of our

opportunity to have a positive influence on the lives of children.

Everything we do here at camp – every activity we lead,

every decision we make, every policy we apply – is guided by

the firm belief that we are responsible for the children we lead.

We are responsible for showing them how to be honest,

caring, respectful and responsible members

of the community.

Since 1982, the Germantown

Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been

providing critical support services to

youth and families of the Germantown

community of Quincy. The percentage of

people living in poverty in Germantown

is currently four times greater than

in the overall City of Quincy.

A community Neighborhood Council

governs the GNC and works with support

and guidance from the South Shore YMCA

to identify and develop strategies to

address community needs. The Council

has ultimately concluded that in order

for the members of this community to

succeed in improving their lives and

those of their families, they must gain the

skills and confidence to take action. Our

programs and services work toward this

end, serving over a thousand adults,

youth, and seniors throughout the year.

Services include the Food Pantry, Holiday

Assistance, Advocacy and Referrals
