Thank you to the YMCA for helping me create priceless memories

Arlicia Brown shares her thoughts about Northwest Valley Family YMCA "Thank you YMCA owner, staff, scholarship program and donators. My family and I would not have experienced this wonderful impact and difference you have made in our lives if it wasn’t for all.  The first memorable encounter I had was with Brendan Fehr and it was informative and pleasant at a high level. The next staff member who was consistently kind to me was Shawnie Wooldridge. Each time I spoke with her, she was professional and kind. All of the trainers and classes I involved myself with were super motivating and had beautiful smiles consistently. The smiles of the Northwest Valley Family YMCA staff at the YMCA; every time I come into the building, has blessed my life.

The YMCA scholarship program has allowed my daughter and I to spend quality fun times together. My daughter and I got the opportunity to take our first Zumba® class together and it had lots of fun. Thanks to Laurie Galison (instructor) who has a lot of motivating energy.

The scholarship program here at the YMCA came into my life at one of the most challenging times of my life and for that alone, I am very grateful. Thank you Northwest Valley Family YMCA staff for making my daughter and I feel secure in a fun environment. It is my hope and prayers to be a part of the YMCA for a very long time. Thank you for such a life-changing scholarship program. Most importantly, thank you for helping me create priceless memories for my daughter that we will never forget.
