YMCA To Hold Grand Opening Saturday
The Grand Lake Family YMCA will hold a Grand Opening of its first facility in Grove on Saturday, October 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Located in the “old library” on South Elk Street behind Subway, the YMCA building will house a fitness center, aerobic studio, child care space and offices.
At the Grand Opening, families will be able to tour the facility while they enjoy games, clowns, sports contests, and free food and drinks. Representatives of D.A.R.E. and the Grove Fire Department will also be on hand and health screenings will be offered.
“This local office will allow us to introduce residents to the YMCA,” said William Skea, chairman of the Grand Lake YMCA Development Committee. “Our goal is to offer a diverse exercise program for young people and for our older population.”
According to Skea, an upcoming capital campaign will be launched to build a permanent facility comprised of an aquatic center in the next two to three years.
Howard Birdsong, an original member of the Neosho YMCA Board of Managers and Mayor of that city will be interim director of the Grand Lake YMCA.
“We are very grateful to the Bill Galletly and the Grove City Council for making it possible for us to lease the old library,” he said.
Inside the YMCA, members will enjoy a fitness center with 20 pieces of equipment including a treadmill, stair stepper, weight machines and free weights. Aerobic classes will be scheduled throughout the week in the studio, led by qualified instructors.
And to help busy parents while they work out, a child watch program will be available on premises.
The Grand Lake YMCA will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Introductory membership fees range from $25 per month for a single adult to $20 per month for seniors and $30 per month for a family.
The Grand Opening event coincides with the launch of the YMCA Kid’s Club, a before and after school program for kindergarten though third grade students. That program will begin on October 3 at the Grove Lower Elementary site.
