Staff report
Even as the Hays YMCA opened its doors again on June 1, it also named a new chair to its board.
At the end of May, the board affirmed the appointment of Brian Carter as its new board chair. As he takes this role on during uncertain times, Carter wants the community to know the role of the Y is as important now as it ever has been. “For many within our area, the Y is their community center. Our neighbors come here for childcare, for programs that help them stay healthy and fit, and to participate in group sports and activities,” Cater said. “There’s an eagerness from our members to restore that sense of community with each other.”
