DANCING WITH
THE DIRECTORS

YMCA STAFF PICNIC

Pictured above are the "Dancing Directors" (listed left to right, top to bottom) Kayley Valsvig & Tanner Johnson, Terrill & Scott Meier, Brandon & Jenny Lemer, Kristin Hawkins & Bruce Kleinsasser, Derik & Mandy Budig, and Ashley Elbers & Brad Wolf.

The YMCA staff had their annual picnic on Tuesday, May 22 at the Y. Several directors and coordinators participated in our staff Strong Kids Campaign fundraiser called "Dancing with the Directors", a spin-off of the TV show, Dancing with the Stars.

Our "Dancing Directors" included: Kayley Valsvig (Youth Coordinator) with Tanner Johnson (Youth Staff), Terril Meier (Group Fitness Coordinator) with Scott (husband), Brandon Lemer (Youth Outreach Director) with Jenny (wife), Kristin Hawkins (Group Fitness Director) with Bruce Kleinsasser (Group Fitness & Aquatics Instructor), Derik Budig (Associate Director) with Mandy (wife), and Ashley Elbers (Aquatics Director) with Brad Wolf (friend).

The Y directors would like to thank everyone who volunteered, participated, came to all-staff party, donated, placed bets, decorated, brought food, laughed, smiled, and cheered on the dancers!

Most importantly we would to thank our staff for thinking of others who are in need of financial assistance! Thanks to all the couples who performed and spent time practicing to ensure the entertainment was "off the charts"! Thank you as well to all the staff members who have stayed with the Y throughout the years, we were glad we could recognize all of you for your service and passion for our outstanding organization!

NEW LEAF:
CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

ANGIE SCHOCK
I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. What I liked about the New Leaf program was that with the personalized assessments, I knew exactly how much my body needed; the re-assessment after the first 12 weeks really opened my eyes to what exercising can really do, and I had actually increased my metabolic rate.

I’ve never been much of a fan of exercise, but now I feel motivated to get my 5 days of cardio workouts in simply because I know exactly what it is that I should be doing, and when I don’t...I just don’t feel as good! It’s amazing that once I began exercising, I was willing to branch out and try things I would’ve never tried before-like TRX!

The one on one sessions with my trainer were extremely helpful, and when I couldn’t (or chose not) to see why maybe I wasn’t losing as much, she gently pointed out what choices I was making may be contributing to the “lack of loss”. Having someone to be accountable is always a great motivation!! I think this is a great program and would recommend it to anyone looking to become healthier!
