What do you call an old dog learning new tricks? ME! I feel blessed to have spent time in almost every area of the Y – currently in Member Service. It is very humbling to watch youth that I’ve been fortunate to share time at the Y with begin their careers and see their families relationships with the Y develop and grow.
