Thank you to everyone who joined us both at the Y and virtually last week for #WelcomingWeek! We spent the week reading, learning, and celebrating all of the amazing and diverse cultures that make up our community and Y! Welcoming Week allowed our neighbors to see the Y as a safe and inclusive environment for all, allowing us to focus on cultural events and the intentional celebration of one another. These events bring us together and allow an opportunity for our community to unify and learn of different cultures and customs.
