🇺🇸 September 11: A Day of Remembrance

Today, we pause to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to acknowledge the courage, sacrifice, and resilience shown in the face of tragedy.

As a community-focused organization, the YMCA is inspired by the values of service, unity, and care for one another. We remember those we lost, support those who continue to carry the impact of that day, and reflect on the strength that emerges when communities come together.

We invite our YMCA family to take a moment today to remember, reflect, and honor the spirit of compassion and service that helps us build stronger communities every day.

💙 Member Spotlight: Ming, Laura & Jeff 💙

As we get ready to celebrate Welcoming Week (September 10-19), we're reminded that community has no borders. 🌎

While visiting their son Ming from Australia 🇦🇺, Laura and Jeff made the Stuart C. Gildred Family YMCA part of their routine. With Ming helping guide their workouts, the family spent time building strength, supporting one another, and prioritizing their health and well-being. 💪❤️

Their positivity, consistency, and commitment to healthy living quickly made them valued members of our YMCA family. Whether in the Wellness Center, sharing a friendly conversation, or encouraging one another, Ming, Laura, and Jeff embody the welcoming spirit that makes our Y so special. ✨

Their story is a wonderful reminder of what Welcoming Week is all about: creating a place where everyone feels they belong. Thank you, Ming, Laura, and Jeff, for being such an inspiring part of our Y family and for showing us that meaningful connections can be made wherever life takes you. 🌟💙

❤️ Volunteer Spotlight: Ling! ❤️

This month, we’re celebrating Ling and all the ways she makes our YMCA community stronger! 🙌

Last year during Campaign Month, Ling volunteered her time to help support our fundraising efforts. Thanks to the incredible generosity and dedication of our community, we were able to raise over $200,000 to support the Y and the people we serve. 💙

But Ling’s impact doesn’t stop there! She is a familiar and consistent face around the Y, always staying active with her workouts and enjoying our Yoga and Pilates classes. 🧘‍♀️💪

And in this photo, you can see just how proud and happy Ling is to be part of the Y community—especially as she celebrates her son and his team winning the **Travel Basketball League** against other local Y teams! 🏀🏆

Ling, thank you for your time, dedication, positivity, and continued support of the Stuart C. Gildred YMCA. We appreciate you! ❤️

🌿 Community is what the Y is all about!
Our management team had a great time at the Santa Ynez Tribal Health Fair! We got to meet some amazing people, connect with fellow vendors from across the Valley, and strengthen relationships within our community. 🤝
A big thank you to for having us and for putting together such a wonderful event! We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to come together, support one another, and create meaningful connections. ❤️

Sometimes, it’s as simple as asking. 💙

A quick “Can I work in?” can make a big difference.

Our Y staff want to encourage a gym culture where we communicate, share equipment, and make space for one another. Whether you’re in the middle of your workout or taking a rest between sets, there may be an opportunity to let someone else get their set in, too.

It’s a small gesture that helps create a more welcoming and supportive space for everyone working toward their goals.

Let’s keep making room for one another and building a stronger Y community together.💪
