"Thanks to the generous donation of the Valparaiso YMCA, my 7 year old daughter and I enjoy the benefits of a single parent family membership. Through the membership my daughter and I are able to use all the facilities available at the YMCA, as well as participate in one additional program for each of us, per session. My daughter is able to play indoor soccer, which she loves, and I haven.t found the time for my class yet, but I am considering doing Yoga. My daughter is also enrolled in before and after-school care and in the summer she will attend Fun Days. With the membership, we receive a discount on the Fun Day.s tuition which helps a lot. My daughter loves coming to the YMCA because they always have fun activities planned and they keep the kids really busy. Since we enrolled, I have been using my membership to workout in the cardio room after work. It is a great way to de-stress and get healthy. I haven.t lost very much weight (yet), but I have had a lot more energy and confidence. My daughter and I would like to say thank you to the YMCA and its members for their generosity."
 
Sincerely,
