Lincoln YMCA to Hold Monday Ribbon Cutting, Open House

Lincoln YMCA ribbon cutting, and open house will take place on Monday, December 13 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at 719 Wyatt Avenue in Lincoln. 

 

Updates and improvements have been made to the building thanks to a generous donation from The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows. Membership to the facility will offer access to new fitness equipment, weights, and the gymnasium. After the first of the year, the Y is planning to offer swim lessons at Lincoln College and add group fitness classes.

 

To celebrate the new building, the YMCA is offering a $0 joining fee to all who join the facility from December 13-December 20, 2021. There will also be giveaways, tours, games and activities for kids, and snacks. Angie Sowle, CEO, YMCA of Springfield, said in a statement they are looking forward to welcoming members and the community to the facility and are excited at the expanded opportunities they offer.

 

The YMCA and Lincoln Memorial Hospital continue to move forward with the “Advance the Mission” capital campaign with the intention to build a new YMCA in the future. 

 

Dolan Dalpoas, YMCA board member and Lincoln Memorial Hospital president and chief executive officer, said in a statement the facility represents so much to this community. He called it a great space for health and fitness, but it is also a space for families to bond, for children to grow and for neighbors to connect.
