Arthur R. Baxter YMCA

Our community is coming together to support neighbors impacted by recent flooding. Through September 4, we’re collecting new, unopened household cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, dish soap, disinfecting wipes, trash bags, paper towels and more. Bring your donations to the collection area at the front of your YMCA. Every donation, big or small, can help a family take the next step toward recovery.

Reconnect & Recharge ☕

Join us for our next round of Coffee & Cards!

Wednesday, September 2 - 8-10 a.m. in the Community Room

Grab a cup of joe, deal the next hand and connect with friends at this free monthly event. We hope to see you there!

🏆 Congratulations, Rex!

Help us celebrate Rex Ellis, our newest ELITE Lifeguard! Rex demonstrated an exceptional commitment to going beyond the StarGuard ELITE standard during his recent audit — an achievement he should be proud of. Join us in congratulating Rex on this well-deserved accomplishment and thanking him for his dedication to keeping our Y community safe! 💙🛟

Safe Sitter | Coming Up August 29

We’re less than a month out from our next Safe Sitter course at the Y on Saturday, August 29 from 9 AM to 4 PM.

If you’ve got a tween or teen (ages 11 to 13) starting to stay home alone or thinking about babysitting, this is a really solid way to build their confidence. It goes beyond just talking through ideas. They will practice real situations, learn basic first aid and get a better feel for how to handle responsibility when it matters.

By the end of the day, they will not just know what to do. They will feel ready to do it.
