We had an amazing time at our Annual Meeting luncheon on Tuesday, April 7 at Ralph’s on the Park! 🌿✨ Beautiful weather, gorgeous views of the oaks in City Park, and even better company made it a day to remember.

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us—our Board of Trustees, Branch Advisory Board, YMCA leadership, special guests, and our newest board members and officers. We’re so grateful for each of you!

We also loved celebrating this year’s YMCA award winners:
💛 Julie Nosser, our C. Allen Favrot Humanitarian of the Year
💛 Three incredible Ignation Volunteer Corps (IVC) volunteers, honored as Mildred Wild Volunteers of the Year for their work with our YMCA Education Services Program

Thank you again to everyone who attended and continues to support our work in the community. We are inspired by each of you!
