Tuesday’s speaker Laurie Wright with the YMCA joined us to tell us about the experience of health clubs and specifically the YMCA during COVID-19. She also gave some very interesting insight to the Miracle League and all the great things happening with that program.
The YMCA was happy to be able to reopen in May of 2020, and are proud of what they offer to the community, including objectives to achieve equality, partnerships, and service to those in need. The YMCA seeks to be a partner and resource for community parents, by creating pathways for success to kids during out of school time. They seek to build leadership, healthy living, belonging, and a sense of community.
The Miracle League believes everyone deserves the chance to play baseball. The league allows people of all ABILITIES play organized baseball. Players with diverse-ABILITIES dress in uniforms, make plays in the field and round the bases, just like their peers in standard baseball leagues. Learn more at www.miracleleaguemilwaukee.org. Volunteers are always needed. If you're interested in volunteering, you can do so at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4aaaaf2ba5f58-miracle3.
If people are interested in having a Rotary Volunteer night, it's something a lot of members would enjoy, and would help boost those service hours for the Rotary Citation. However, we'd need someone to lead the charge. If you're interested in taking the lead please let Sam know (unless it's after June 29, then let Heather know).
Also, they will be hosting a golf fundraiser at the Bog on August 10. If you're interested go to https://www.ymcamke.org/ymca-golf-outing-registration/!
