YMCA Exchange

[April 11, 2008]  The YMCA along with Constable Nate Miller is hot on the trail of a mischievous cow. A cow? Yes, this cow is wanted in connection with our second annual "Cow Chip Bingo" fundraiser. The cow will be brought to justice on May 10. Bring your family and enjoy a day of games and contests, fun, food, a magician and of course Cow Chip Bingo. The fun begins at 12:30 p.m. Remember to mark your calendar with a "moo!"

Be sure to stop by the YMCA office to sign up your second- through fourth-grade girls for the "Hannah Montana" party on April 18 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Pizza and drink will be provided along with many fun and exciting activities based around the "Hannah Montana" theme. Stop by the Y office today to get your girls signed up.

Registration for spring volleyball will continue through April 28. This program for children first through sixth grade will meet on Tuesday nights, beginning May 6. Join instructor Krista Hoban as she teaches your children the "fun"-damentals of volleyball. Sign up your children today as space is limited.

Y swimming lessons are a great way to prepare your children for a summer of fun in the pool. Lessons are at the Lincoln Elks Club pool, beginning June 16 through July 26.
