Christina, The Y in Druid Hill
"I love coming to the Y to workout and swim. I love to swim. The Y does so much for children, seniors, and adults. I would suggest that anybody who wants to be part of the Y, to join. There's so much the Y provides and it's great for communities. I haven't been a Y member long, but I appreciate what you do. The associates here are awesome and if you want to get out just to be involved in the something, the Y is the place. I love being a member. I should have joined a long time ago. To all the associates and everybody involved, thanks!"
Adric, Y Chipmunks Preschool
"We absolutely love being part of the Y family! During our tour, we knew that there was no need to look any further. We were warmly welcomed by Cheryl Rosendahl, Y Preschool Director, and were introduced then and there to Nichole, the teacher for my son. We were comfortable from the beginning and couldn’t wait to begin. We have fully enjoyed the school activities we have been able to attend, and look forward to participating in more. Thank you Y Chipmunks Preschool for making my son’s preschool experience a happy one! :)"
Caron, Y Early Head Start - Merritt Park

OUR WORK TOGETHER
Dear Colleagues,
As the year begins to draw to a close, I want to take this moment to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for the incredible work done on behalf of this community this past year.
I know a lot is asked of you in the course of this work, including the ability to adapt and change. While it’s much easier to stick with the known and familiar, staying relevant and responsive to the times requires the ability to embrace change. In the Y’s long history, we’ve had to reinvent ourselves on many occasions to adapt to changing needs and habits in this community. Given the circumstances of the past three years, and all of the ways people and families have been impacted, it’s my view that we’re in another period in which reinvention is critical to our viability.
Standing still while the world changes around us is never an option. As we head into 2023, there’s much to be optimistic about if we all work hard and well together to embrace the changes needed to be successful.
Thank you all you do to make this community a better place.
Have a happy, safe and warm holiday with family and friends.
All the best,
John Hoey
President & CEO
The Y in Central Maryland
