I believe others should support our local Peoria YMCA as it is a valued commodity in our community, it is the opportunity to give back, whether big or small. It is an opportunity to impact someone else's life in a positive manner. 

My favorite YMCA memory was a summer program as a child, both my parents worked and the Y provided fun activities that taught me values. My sister and I would ride our bikes across town, I mostly remember playing games with other kids, meeting new kids and making friends.
