[Ridgewood, NJ, June 8, 2018] – The Ridgewood YMCA will hold its 45th Annual Charity Golf Outing on Monday, September 24, 2018 at the Arcola Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. Proceeds from the event will support the Ridgewood YMCA’s Social Responsibility Programs.
After a productive partnership spanning 70 years in their shared 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood facility, the Boards of Directors of the Ridgewood YMCA and YWCA Bergen County announce plans to restructure their joint operations.
While the Ridgewood YMCA will continue operations at 112 Oak Street, YWCA Bergen County will move its operations to a different location. The transition period will begin in August 2018 and be completed in September 2018.
The Ridgewood YMCA and YWCA Bergen County have decided this course of action to better serve our community while preserving the very important missions of our respective organizations. Our YMCA staff will be working diligently to ensure a smooth transition process is in place and we will continue to communicate updates to our members.
The Ridgewood YMCA will expand its operations at 112 Oak Street and provide the same high-quality services that all members have come to expect and enjoy in youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. A future capital fundraising campaign will be explored, and with the support of the community, much needed facility upgrades and improvements will be made.
Ridgewood YMCA and Bolger Fitness Center members in good standing will continue their membership unchanged. A Frequently Asked Questions section will be featured on the Ridgewood Y’s website (www.ridgewoodymca.org) and a FAQ information sheet will be available at the Welcome Center Desk.
Denis Salamone, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said “With improvements to the facility at 112 Oak Street and enhancements to programs, the Ridgewood YMCA will serve its members and the community better than at any other time in my 31 years as a YMCA volunteer.”
Brian Hughes, President of the Board of Directors commented, “My family and I have been members of the Ridgewood Y for 18 years. “All three of my children have been involved in the youth programs, camp and on the Breakers swim team.” “I know from personal experience what a positive impact the Y has made in our lives and I am thrilled with the restructuring of our organization and its potential for favorable changes and growth.” “I look forward to many more people of all ages being able to experience a healthy lifestyle and sense of community that the Y provides”.
