Summer Solstice Celebration

Summer Solstice Celebration 2008

We are currently in the process of planning the Clark Memorial YMCA's Annual Summer Solstice Celebration. Myself, along with a wonderful committee of dedicated volunteers are working hard to make sure that this year's event is a memorable experience for everyone. There will be a variety of new activities including two entertainment stages (one for music all day and one for exhibitions and shows like Animal Adventures) caricatures, fortune tellers, sumo suits and much more! There will also be a wide variety of vendors, crafters and food!

This year's event will begin at 8:30 with the infamous Morin Real Estate 5K Road Race and Kids' Runs. Following the road race, activities and entertainment will begin and last until 5 pm!

This year's parade will begin at noon and will feature a variety of floats and entertainment. We are currently accepting applications for parade participants, so if you would like your group or organization to be represented, please see our website for an application form.

Another new addition to this year's event is the Clark Idol Kids Talent Show. There will be two different age categories: K–4th grade and 5th–8th grade for kids to participate in. Kids can perform individually or in groups. We will have a dress rehearsal in advance and a final, judged performance during the Summer Solstice Celebration. Performers must register in advance. Application forms will be available on our website soon.

If you would like to be involved as a volunteer, crafter, vendor, sponsor, parade participant, or talent show participant, please visit the special Summer Solstice section of our website.

We are really looking forward to this year's event and hope that you can join us for a day of family fun!

Sincerely,

Amanda R. Grubb
Membership & Marketing Director

CLAK YMCA EASES BURDEN ON GOVERNMENT

As many area residents know, the Wendell P. Clark Memorial YMCA is a private, non-profit organization established to serve the community. One of the many rewarding aspects of being associated with the Clark YMCA — as one of over 2,300 members, 300+ volunteers, or 35 employees — is the satisfaction of knowing that the Clark YMCA makes a positive impact on the lives of many and has done so for over 53 years.

The Clark remains affordable (where else can a family of 5 receive a month's worth of membership benefits for the price of one night at the movies?) and accessible to all people, regardless of the ability to pay. Do folks realize how many people are involved in healthy, safe and supervised activities because they received financial assistance through the Clark YMCA Scholarship Fund Drive? Last year we served 466 people in this way, not including the many other subsidized programs and services offered, such as the Robinson-Broadhurst Foundation sponsored Summer Day Camp program.
