Sorry to see Y branch closing
The YMCA has four locations here in Lowndes County, and all of them are marvelous. The Y has brought unlimited joy and renewed health to numerous families and individuals from all walks of life. I love that place and the countless personalities I have met and fellowship with. Thanks to the leadership at The Y for building such an organization and maintaining it.
I can only speak for myself but I’m positive most share the same feelings. I was saddened to hear the news of the Wellness Center branch of the Y is closing its doors permanently at the end of this month. I truly wish this news could be reversed. There still will be the other three locations, but this sort of compares to losing a great friend or loved one.
