YMCA notes [November 07, 2009]  Good news, everyone! We have made some very exciting changes with our Preschool Play Days and our Friends and Fun. We have lowered the age limit for Preschool Play Days; we are now accepting 3-year-olds. Also our Friends and Fun is accepting not only 3- and 4-year-olds, but also 5-year-olds. That gives you parents more of an option and time frame. Preschool Play Days are offered from 12:15 to 2:45 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Friends and Fun program is offered from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. http://www.lincolnymca.org/Preschool.aspx

Snow-People Art will be offered on Friday, Dec. 11, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Instead of being cooped up in the house with nothing to do, bring your first- to sixth-grade child to art class to learn assemblage and painting with everyday things. It may even give you great gift ideas for grandma and grandpa. Each art class is $10 for Y members and $13 for nonmembers. There is a $3 fee increase after the Nov. 27 deadline, so don't wait.
