EMPLOYEE OF THE
FIRST QUARTER:
ANTIONE McGRAW


We don’t think you’ll find a more enjoyable employee to be around than Antione McGraw! He is so positive and generous with his time. Antione brings a smile to others faces and he is willing to help out in any department at any time. He has had great ideas that we have implemented in the Wellness Center. Antione has really taken ownership of the Wellness Center. He has implemented some of his ideas for layout of weight room which has made the flow better. Antione made the transition of ActivTrax happen and has trained our staff on it. Antione has a bright future here at the Y!

CONGRATULATIONS & WAY TO GO ANTIONE!

BOYS INTERSTATE TOURNAMENT THANK YOU
This year we were privileged to have over 140 teams participate, which is encouraging as the tournament continues to grow in numbers. A tournament of this size is great for the community of Aberdeen and is possible only because many of you gave of your time and talents to help with the many areas needed/required to make it successful.


KIDZ DANCE PARTY
Ladybugs
In April, the YMCA offered a new class for children called “Kidz Dance Party”.  It is dancing mixed with some aerobics and a good physical activity for the kids to participate in. They dance to all the new kids bop music including: Cha-Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Some Nights, and many more.





Tip

Pearls are the product of pain For some unknown reason, the shell of the oyster gets pierced and an alien substance - a grain of sand - slips inside. On the entry of that foreign irritant, all the resources within the tiny, sensitive oyster rush to the spot and begin to release healing fluids that otherwise would have remained dormant. By and by, the irritant is covered and the wound is healed... by a pearl. No other gem has such a fascinating history. It is the symbol of stress - a healed wound... a precious, tiny jewel conceived through irritation, born of adversity, nursed by adjustments. Had there been no wounding, no irritating interruption, there could of been no pearl. Some oysters are never wounded... (and thus, no pearl!) and those who seek for gems toss them aside, fit only for stew.
