Keep the Maury County YMCA Open!
The Maury County YMCA in Columbia, TN is scheduled to close in December of this year. On top of many important services it offers, the therapy pool is a crucial part of the health of the disabled and elderly community. We need this YMCA to stay open!
Why is this important?
The YMCA in Maury County is scheduled to close on December 31st of this year. I do not understand why your members weren't given this news well before this so we'd have a chance to do one or more fundraisers to help keep this YMCA open. The YMCA is the only source of exercise for both my husband, who is disabled from a car accident, and my son, who has Down Syndrome. The therapy pool there is the only one in a 30-mile radius. This will also greatly effect the large population of disabled and elderly, not to mention those who need it to recover from various injuries. On top of that, the YMCA is a major source of community in our area and its closing would greatly effect the area in more ways than we can count. There's got to be a way for the members to keep the YMCA open - even if a few services have to be canceled temporarily.
