August 5, 2021

Dear Y Member,

Thank you for being part of the Y. We’re an association of people who are strengthening our community. Thank you for being part of this work.

Over the past 14 months, we’ve operated our facility and programs prioritizing the health and safety of our members, guests, staff and entire community. We’re continuing to do so.

Based on CDC guidelines and Marion County rated as “substantial transmission” of COVID-19, we’re returning to requiring all staff members to wear a mask when working indoors (with some exceptions). This change goes into effect on August 7.

We’re also encouraging (not requiring) all members and visitors age five and older to wear a mask at the Y except while exercising.

If cases in Marion continue to rise, we may re-implement some of our protocols from earlier this year. If that happens, we’ll let you know.

We all want to return to normal and put the fear and restrictions of the pandemic behind us. We want ourselves, our family, our friends and our community to be safe. We can get there through vaccinations. We encourage all who are eligible to get vaccinated. Marion Public Health is holding vaccination clinics on Thursdays. They are now giving $100 gift cards to people when they receive their first dose. Call 740-387-6520 to schedule an appointment.

Thank you for being part of the Y. I hope you and your family are well.

 

Theresa
Executive Director
