The Montgomery County Family YMCA has received notification that the YMCA will
receive a $2,000 grant that the YMCA applied for in late March 2008 from the
Red Oak Heritage Foundation. These funds will assist the YMCA in areas of
computer software update along with several YMCA aquatic safety needs: youth
and adult life jackets, CPR rescue aids to help staff in performing CPR in time
of a health related emergency, bag values for CPR for youth, infants, and
adults, along with silhouette dolls used for life guarding training to see how
quickly the response time is in locating a doll at the bottom of the swimming
pool.
Nick Zimmer, YMCA Executive Director, expressed his deepest appreciation to the
Red Oak Heritage Foundation for having such a grant application process
available to not-for-profit organizations that simply try to give residents of
all ages positive experiences in life.
