Penobscot Bay YMCA CVO

I grew up in this Y. It was, and continues to be, an integral part of our family and also of our community. It is an anchor. It offers everything from daycare and afterschool care to programming for youth and adults, fitness and physical therapy, in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment that is open to all regardless of ability to pay. I am honored to help further the mission of this very special place.

Penobscot Bay YMCA Secretary

I love the Penobscot Bay YMCA because it is such a friendly environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of socioeconomic status. We are beyond delighted to have a Y branch here in Rockland. What a wonderful asset to our community – amazing child care, well thought out and executed youth programming, and excellent fitness options - healthy living right in town! I am delighted to volunteer for the Y, to help make our community even stronger.

Penobscot Bay YMCA Board Treasurer

I first came to Camden in 1990 to work at the FMC plant in Rockland.  I immediately fell in love with the area.  I moved away in 1993 but came back in 2017.  I loved Maine, felt as if this was supposed to be my home and hoped that, when I retired, I would be able to move back.  I am fortunate that life allowed me to come back to Camden.  When I was first here in the 90s, we belonged to the YMCA (on Chestnut Street) and my son took daddy/baby swimming classes and did other infant activities at the "Y".  Our experience with the YMCA influenced our utilizing other community resources for our kid’s activities after we moved.  Since coming back to Maine, I have participated in several community based organizations in order to give back to this wonderful area that caught my heart 30 years ago and I am looking forward to helping the YMCA serve the needs of this very special community.

I was introduced to the YMCA as a summer resident in my teens and felt fortunate to have access to such a dynamic facility despite being from away. Twenty years later and still a member and full time Maine resident, the YMCA plays a huge role in meeting my families needs everyday. Our daughter is enrolled in the childcare program five days a week and absolutely loves her teachers. My husband and I depend on the pool and the gym for our physical health. I am a volunteer at the YMCA because I believe that the organization takes care of our community and I hope to better support that effort.

I love the Y’s focus on Youth Development as a key pathway to strengthening our community. The youth are our future. I honor the Y’s commitment to being inclusive to all, regardless of income, and accessible to more people, as with the Rockland facility and the planned expansion of the fantastic Early Education Program. My family has a history here. My wife Jennifer Andrews grew up at the ‘Camden Y’, and four generations have participated, with three still very involved. The Y’s amazing potential to do even more makes me grateful for this opportunity to help further its mission.

The Y has been the hub of my young family's life here in the mid-coast since we brought our three daughters up here a few years ago. My wife is an avid swimmer, I regularly work out, and our children enjoy camp activities and the indoor playground. More importantly, the collective community benefits -- healthy living, social engagement, childcare support -- are incredible for our area and I'm pleased to be able to give back to an organization that has been so welcoming and helpful to my family.

I love all the Y has to offer our community. As a kindergarten teacher I get to see children's faces light up when they talk about the Y. My family has a long history of participating in our Y, and I am honored to continue this tradition as a Board Member.

In my job I often see the tragic results of unhealthy lifestyles. The Y’s commitment to building healthy bodies, minds and spirits in our community is vitally important today, and to the future, for us all.  I’m very excited to be part of this mission.

I am passionate about the value of the Y mission in our community. As a teacher I see first-hand every day the positive impact the Y and its programs have on children and families.

My perception of the Y will always be permeated with fond memories of my own childhood. My hometown Y was where I (reluctantly) learned to swim. Where my Mom would drop me off on Saturdays to play basketball, swim, and just hang out in the game room. So I immediately joined this Y when I moved here in 2013, and have discovered my memories of my childhood experience pale in comparison to what this Y is to this community. Our daughter has gone through the entire daycare/preschool program and is now thriving at CRES, in large part I believe because of the amazing Y staff. I am proud to have recently joined the board, as I feel no other organization serves such a broad and diverse group of constituents.

Since arriving in Camden in 2017, the Y has played a central role in our daily lives. We've utilized so many of the Y's offerings – our daughter, born here in 2019, was in Child Care for years beginning when she was 4 months old; summer camps for both our kids, exercise and yoga classes; swim lessons; general pool access; the climbing wall; Family Fun Fridays. We feel exceedingly fortunate to have such an incredible facility and programming in our area and for the wonderful community it brings together. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to further the Y's mission and to give back to a place that gives me, my family, and this community so much.

I first joined the Y in 1988 when it was located at the corner of Chestnut and Frye in Camden.  For the past 34 years, the Y has been a part of my life as a young boy, independent adult, and now parent of two children.  The Y is truly special in serving all corners of our community.  I am honored to volunteer as a Y board member.

My wife Barbara and I have enjoyed being members of the Y for 17 years, and I have been a “regular” in Rockland since it opened.  I have been very impressed by the Y’s critical role in Early Childhood Education and its importance in the community.  I hope my years in construction and facility management will be helpful to the Y as we work on the upkeep and repositioning of our facilities.
