2016 FALL PROGRAM GUIDE

HAPPY AND HEALTHY

RYE YMCASession 1: September 10 - November 11, 2016

Session 2: November 12, 2016 - January 29, 2017

Gregg Howells Rye Y Executive Director

Welcome to the RYE YMCA!

Mission Statement: The RYE YMCA is a family oriented community service organization which welcomes all people and promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body.

Dear Friends,

What makes the Y so special?

Many people would say that it’s the warm greeting they receive when they walk in the door. Or the support they’ve found from our trainers and teachers. Others appreciate a sense of community that’s missing from other facilities. As one of our members remarked “I felt like family from day one.”

Creating a welcoming environment for our members and guests means a lot to us. Through our hiring practices, staff training and the effort we make every day, we strive to make your member experience second to none.

Over the past year, we have dug even deeper, exploring ways to move beyond customer service to a better understanding of what it means to be truly inclusive. How can we be more sensitive to the needs of a diverse membership? What does inclusion mean for the communities we serve? And how can we ensure that everyone feels supported by the Y?

These are sometimes delicate conversations to have. To help us through, we enlisted a Y-USA Diversity and Inclusion trainer who led a one-day staff retreat last December. After many follow-up conversations, we developed a Diversity and Inclusion Policy for our employees and a simple, brief statement for our members.

The statement for our members, which can be found at the top of page 43, builds on our mission, which defines the Rye Y as “a family-oriented community service organization which welcomes all people…” It puts into writing our commitment to inclusion. And it acknowledges that we are stronger when people with diverse beliefs, backgrounds and life experience come together in community.

If you ask me, that’s what makes the Y so special.

Sincerely,

My dad grew up in Rye, on Milton Road. Coming here was like a return to a piece of family history. It felt very comfortable. There is always a welcoming, smiling face greeting me when I come in. It’s a warm welcome upstairs too. I’ve become friends with some of the folks on the Fitness Center floor. I play golf with George. It’s all part of the friendly atmosphere. The staff is always very available to help.

The Rye Y offers so much. It is a resource to keep me healthy. Exercising has extended my good health and physical vigor. When I have a good workout I leave with a mental payoff. My disposition towards the day is enhanced. I enjoy passing by Child Watch and waving at the kids. The Y seems to serve the seven ages of man, from infant to elderly. If the Y’s mission is to serve the community in as broad a way as possible, then it’s succeeded.

I am looking forward to being here for a LONG time. Guy Zerega

LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCALIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a FREE twelve-week, small group program designed for adult cancer survivors. Our goal is to help participants build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes and improving energy levels and self esteem. A final goal of the program is to assist participants in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as part of their recovery, but as a way of life. In addition to the physical benefits, the program provides participants a supportive environment and a feeling of community with their fellow survivors, Y staff and members.

Y fitness instructors work with each participant to fit the program to their individual needs. The instructors are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise and supportive cancer care. Classes are held weekdays with daytime and evening classes.

FOR COMMUNITY:

FOR COMMUNITY: Y CARES

Learn more about our annual campaign at www.ryeymca.org/giving

The Y Cares program allows the Rye YMCA to keep a powerful promise to the communities we serve: no-one willbe turned away from Y programs and services because he or she can’t pay. In 2015 alone, the Y awarded over $520,000 in financial aid to 391 families and individuals in need. Scholarships allowed children to join their peers at camp, while membership subsidies gave individuals and families the full Y experience, often during difficult times.

It's easy to support Y Cares. Make a one-time donation online or at Member Services. Or speak to a Member Services staff person about making an ongoing gift through your monthly bank draft.

A member writes: Without the support of Y Cares, my children would never have been able to take classes such as swimming, dance and gymnastics. We would not have been able to even be members! It has also allowed our daughter to experience camp, which would have been impossible due to our financial situation. We have been able to use the gym to get ourselves in shape as well. We have met amazing friends all because of the Y!

Celebrating 5 Years of Hope and HealingNearly everyone has been touched by cancer, either through their own experience or through the diagnosis or a friend, family member or colleague. Recognizing the need to support adults who are facing this dreaded disease, the Rye Y launched LIVESTRONG at the YMCA in July 2011.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a free, 12-week small group program designed to help cancer survivors regain their total health. Over the past five years, 458 adults have grown stronger through the program’s focus on physical activity, stress reduction and emotional support.

Along the way, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA reached several notable milestones. In 2013, the Rye Y was recognized by YMCA of the USA and the LIVESTRONG Foundation with the Excellence and Innovation Award for hosting LIVESTRONG week—a celebration of cancer survivors and their families that has continued every year since 2012. In 2015, we started an alumni group to keep program participants connected to the Y and each other.

Also, in 2015, we became the first YMCA in the country to offer LIVESTRONG at the YMCA at a Federally-Qualified Health Center. Thanks to a strong partnership with Open Door Family Medical Centers and Soul Ryeders, we began holding Spanish-language classes at Open Door’s Port Chester facility. Lori-Beth Patsy, an Open Door exercise physiologist who led the first class, wrote of her group: “You have NO idea how grateful they are for this. After going through what they went through and then not being able to share their stories because of language and other barriers, they were so happy.”

In the summer of 2012, I became an Aquatics Instructor for the Rye Y. I have had breast cancer, cataract surgery, and I also lost my husband to ALS. Throughout my ordeals, the Rye Y has been extremely supportive and concerned.

Teaching has been my salvation. It gets me out of the house, socializing, exercising and feeling better. I love to help people and it feels so incredible when someone tells me how much better they feel after taking my classes. I love the water aerobics ‘pool crowd’ at the Rye Y. They are lots of fun and so friendly.

The key to the Rye Y is the people! They are so great and the Y is very responsive to its members! Barbara Argy
