growing Upgive WHere YOU Live

tHe 2012 capitaL campaignthe Mankato FaMily yMCa iS growing, and the 2012 growing Up CaMpaign will reinveSt in the CUrrent bUilding while Making FUrther StepS toward prograMMing on the eaSt Side oF Mankato.

This campaign, beginning in January, will include remodeling the locker rooms and adding more program space while replacing the heating, plumbing and air conditioning for more efficiency. It will involve remodeling the lobby to include a larger social area with more amenities and conveniences for our members. It will include better access to the building through expanded parking.

And in addition to reinvesting in our Riverfront Drive facility, the campaign will bring more of our programs to the east side of town to better serve the larger Mankato area.

We’re proud of the changes in store, and trust our members will be too. Please consider helping us grow as we help so many others do the same.

strong Kids2012 strOng Kids campaignEvery year, members and friends of the Y step up for families facing tough financial times.

The Strong Kids Campaign is the Y’s annual fundraiser that goes toward helping low-income families afford memberships at the Y. These opportunities can make all the difference for families on limited budgets—giving them access to the state-of-the-art facility, quality programs and, most importantly, a place for healthy activities together.

To volunteer in this campaign, which kicks off in Spring, please call 387-8255.

golf tournamentBreaK OUt tHe cLUBs and enJOY a great OUting FOr a great caUse.the 2012 golf tournament Friday, May 18 north linkS golF CoUrSe, north Mankato

The Mankato Family YMCA’s golf tournament is a key fundraiser for our youth programs, with sponsorships as the main source of funds. Sponsorship packages provide ample publicity for your business or organization as well as support for YMCA youth activities year-round, from beginning swim to Youth In Government.

Among the sponsorships available:

eagle sponsors - $500

Your name and logo will appear in all tournament print promotions and advertising. You will also have promotional opportunities at the event itself.

Hole sponsors - $200

Limited availability. This level of sponsorship provides you with an attractive four-color sign at one of the holes on the tournament. Each hole allows only two sponsors, so grab one (or two) quickly.

Register your foursome today. Space at the tournament is limited—registering early ensures a spot. A $99 fee includes green fees, golf cart, lunch and dinner, and access to a fantastic day of golfing and maybe just a little goofing.

For more information, contact Joe Tougas at 345-9807 or [email protected].

Healthy Kids daySaturday, april 28, 2012

A day for families of members and non-members alike toexplore the Mankato Family YMCA and the many ways ithelps families play together. From swimming to dancing toshooting hoops, the day is devoted to giving families a dayin which they can get back to the basics of having fun.

Look for more details to come.

attention, Families:Starting in January, the Mankato YMCA will have “family fitness” bags available to check out and use in the facility. Family fitness bags will have equipment and a list of activities that you and your children can do with the equipment. The bags will be available at the front desk.

this equipment was purchased through the Ucare grant.

Ucare grantThe Y has received a UCare grant that has allowed us to enhance our Afterschool program by adding the Food and Fun curriculum, CATCH curriculum and equipment, Family Fitness bags and other increased opportunities for families to participate and learn about the importance of healthy nutrition and physical activity. Thanks to the generous support of UCare, we are able to improve the health of our community.

Family concert series: Bach’s Lunchmankato symphony OrchestraComposer Johann Sebastian Bach has it all. A brilliant composer with a loving family, he has a job he enjoys, plays the organ for church, writes fugues and cantatas with ease, and gets to teach some of the most talented musicians in town. The only problem? His student Heinrich just won’t take things seriously.

The Family Concert Series is designed to introduce young children and their families to the delights of classical music. No need to sit still—laughing, clapping, singing along, and dancing are encouraged. Starring David Fienen as Bach and Alex Barnett as Heinrich.

11:00 a.m., Mankato YMCA Aerobic Studio

YOUtH spOrts pHiLOsOpHY The Youth Sports program at the MANKATO FAMILY YMCA gives elementary-aged boys and girls the opportunity to learn sports skills in a supervised, low-competitive environment. We believe that participating in sports should be FUN and that every player should have an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to play. The emphasis of our practices is on the DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS. We want to take the pressure off the kids and let them enjoy youth sports. This is done by de-emphasizing winning at all costs and playing only the few best players. Parent SUPPORT is encouraged as opposed to parent PRESSURE on the kids to be perfect.

all Sports Jersey For youth SportsAn All Sports Jersey will be used for all youth sports programs. These jerseys are available at Play It Again Sports or Scheels. Play It Again Sports will be selling new jerseys as well as buying and selling used jerseys. Youth Sports participants will purchase the All Sports Jersey on their own and they will be good for all sports year-round.
