A Personal Note From Jack Weinman

We are asking our community for help. We are asking you to consider an investment in our “Reach Out to your Community Annual Campaign” so that we can address several key challenges affecting our community.

The brochure carefully articulates how the YMCA is helping our community every day. The YMCA is full of many personal stories: A senior citizen in need of a place to go; a community organization needing a place to provide services to local teens, and a father who lost his job and needed the YMCA for his spirit, mind, and body.

What is your YMCA story? My story dates back sixty years when I moved to Norwich in 1946. Since that time I have been a member, a volunteer, a board member, board president, a trustee, and a donor. I believe in the YMCA. I believe it is the best place for kids to go. I have a strong interest in keeping the YMCA viable and knowing that the YMCA is available for all.

For many years, local businesses like mine, the Norwich Shoe Company, would sponsor children every year to attend the YMCA. Today the need is greater than it was in the 1950’s and 60’s and businesses cannot do it alone. With the support of our entire community, we will engage more youth, families and seniors in YMCA programs, and in turn, support their efforts to belong to a community organization that can provide many life changing opportunities and experiences.

We know we are experiencing a difficult economy but if we can collectively support our YMCA, we know that in return our YMCA will continue to add value to our community. By participating in this campaign, we will have the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Every contribution at any level will assist us in improving the quality of life for all of us. Unfortunately, the YMCA cannot do it alone; we need your help to meet the increasing level of need in our community. We hope you agree and will join the Norwich Family YMCA in their effort.

Please join me in supporting the YMCA Annual Support Campaign as they continue to help others and make our community stronger. If you would like additional information, do not hesitate to call Jamey Mullen, YMCA Executive Director at 607-336-9622 x37.

In support of the YMCA, I am,

Jack Weinman
