Health and Wellness for All Ages

One of the first blogs I posted was about one of our members who, in her late 70s, regularly attends one of our Pilates classes. As registration begins for the Y’s Fall I session, I’m excited to say she is ready to sign up for her fifth session of classes! Her dedication to her health and wellness reminds me that at any age, there is no excuse not to keep your body strong.

Relief

Last week, a woman came into the Y with hopes of enrolling her six-year-old son in Y Camp. It seemed they were new to the area and were staying at a nearby residence hotel. As you could imagine, her son was getting pretty bored. Luckily, I was able to sign them up for the next (and last) four weeks of camp.

At the time, I was excited to help the son get some activity for what was left of his summer. However, I’ve since realized the relief the mother must have felt as well. In this situation, it seemed she probably needed some time to get things organized (which can be a little hard with a six-year-old).

I hope the son enjoys his time at Y Camp, and I hope his mother considers becoming Y members once they are settled into the community.
