ymCa memBer OF tHe Quarter

ymCa emplOyee OF tHe Quarter

This month’s employee of the quarter is Lucy Corning. She has worked at the Y since last October. She works in the SAFE program, teaches swim lessons and works

with the Aqua Force swim team. Her favorite parts of her job are when the swimmers succeed and meeting new people on a daily basis. Lucy moved here from St. Louis and worked at the Y there. She enjoyed the experience so much that she wanted to work for a Y again. Since starting at the Y, Lucy says she enjoys life more and feels younger at heart while working with the children. Overall, she says the Y has taught her to put others first and to do a job you love and love doing it. Away from the Y Lucy has been married for over thirty years, has four children and four grandchildren. She loves riding her bike, taking care of her flowers, doing Zumba and playing with her grandkids. Her mottos are “all you need is love,” “be accountable for your actions.” and “be a leader worth following.”

The YMCA Member of the quarter is Justin Heard. In my 17 years of Y work I have yet to meet a member as inspirational and encouraging as Justin. We are happy to have helped impact Justin’s life in some way but delighted in the impact he has given to our staff and Y. Thank you Justin for being a great Y Member. You are truly an inspiration. Here is a little bit about Justin in his own words:

The Y has been an important part of my life as I have struggled with weight my entire life and is something that I had always just accepted. From December, 2010 until the end of February, 2012 I had lost 125 lbs. Since joining the YMCA I have been more active than I ever have been and it has definitely made a huge differ-

ence. From March to July I lost around 80 lbs. from working out six days a week, twice a day. Most of my participation has been in the Aqua Fitness classes. I have also been training upstairs with Jenny Miller and Danielle Penge. Outside of the pool I have started doing cardio on the treadmill and personal training upstairs. My motivation for working out at the Y has been knowing I used to weigh 656 and am able to say I am conquering that is all the motivation I need to do this. Not a lot of people can say they have and continue to make that daily change no matter how hard it can get. I also do this knowing that each day I walk into the YMCA, someone else is bettering their life as well and maybe I can give them a little bit of inspiration as well.

My social life has also improved considerably as I have met so many wonderful people throughout my time at the Y. It’s amazing how much I have changed and I have a lot of people from the Y to thank. I never thought this much would happen in this short amount of time but sure enough it has. I am now teaching Aqua Fitness which is another thing I never thought I would be in the position/condition to do. I have seen some drastic mental and physical changes as well. I am no longer depressed as I used to be because I wake up each day with a purpose. Physically I notice changes daily. I have more stamina than I used to and can do a lot more than I ever thought I could do. When I doubt if I can do something, I make sure I find ways to get it done. So I would say the YMCA has greatly influenced the path I am now on and will hopefully continue to do so for a long time.

My favorite part of the Y is that I love the no judgment aspect of the YMCA and it’s basically one big family. It seems like a lot of people there genuinely take interest in others stories. It’s nice to see and meet new people on a daily basis who are working to better their lives every day.

FOx Valley FlyersThe Fox Valley Flyers is our competitive team. The Flyers compete in both YMCA and USAG meets throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. The Flyers also have the opportu-nity to qualify for YMCA Nationals which are held in a different state each year. Last year the Flyers traveled to Ohio! The Flyers Team consists of levels 4 through 9 and has approximately 40 gymnasts competing. The girls have worked hard to get through all the instructional levels to earn their way to team. Team try-outs are held each year in June as a part of our annual Summer Gymnastics Camp.

The Flyers are coached by Karen Oelker, Amy Killey, Dani Iorfida, Chloe’ Oelker and Libby Ellerby. Our goal as coaches is and always has been to not only make this a strong, winning team, but to teach our girls the importance of working together and supporting each other. We believe what they learn here will stay with them long after their gymnastics careers.

Program Registration Information: All classes require advance registration and fee payment. Programs will not be prorated. To receive the discounted member rate you must be a member of the Fox Valley Family YMCA. Classes may meet on some holidays, please check with your instructor. All private lessons must be registered and paid for at the front desk. Programs with low enrollment are generally cancelled one week prior to start date. By participating in a YMCA program it is assumed that all participants using the facility agree to the waiver of liability. Waiver can be found online at www.foxvalleyymca.org or on your program receipt. Two fees are listed by each class. The first fee is the discounted fee a FULL PRIVILEGE MEMBER pays and the second is the fee a NON-MEMBER pays.

Program Cancellation Policy: Your opinion is important to us, if there is anything we can do to improve your member experience please let us know. Programs cancelled by the Y will result in a full credit or refund. Classes missed due to weather, holidays, illness, acts of God, or choice of participants cannot be made up, credited or refunded.

All program cancellations requested by participants must be in writing 5 business days before the start of the class and may result in a $10 service fee. Cancellation policy is subject to change.

Holiday/Refund Disclaimer: The Y does not hold classes on certain holidays so that our members and participants may spend time with their families. We do not prorate for these classes. If your class falls on a holiday please enjoy time with your family. These holidays include: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween Evening, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve. The Y does not refund or prorate classes due to facility closures due to weather.

Waiting Lists: You may request to be placed on the program’s waiting list, if a class has reached the maximum. However, the waiting list is not a guarantee that the class will be offered or that registration is confirmed. Payment must be received at the time of registration to hold your spot on the roster.

Youth Restrictions: All children 11 and under must be in a supervised activity or with an adult 18 or older when using the facility. Children 14 or older may use the Fitness Center. Only children ages 5 and under are allowed to pass through the opposite sex locker rooms. Parents are encouraged to change all children of opposite sex age 5 and under in the designated areas.

ADA Statement: The Fox Valley Family YMCA supports the intent and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Central Branch is handicapped accessible including a chair lift for entry and exit into/out of our pool and chair lift to access our second floor. The West Branch is handicapped accessible as well.

Code of Conduct: In keeping with our Christian values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, all members are expected to behave appropriately while using the facilities. Those who choose to act inappropriately as defined by YMCA staff may be asked to leave the building. Repeat offenses can lead to a membership suspension or revoking all privileges.

* The Fox Valley Family YMCA reserves the right to run sex and violent offender checks on any and all members and guests, which can result in denied access to the YMCA facility and programs.

Gift Certificates: Gift certificates are non-refundable. We are not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates. Gift certificates won through other organizations are only valid for 6 months from date of donation.

Scholarships: It is the policy of the Y to provide services for any adult, senior, or child who desires to participate and understands the benefits of the YMCA, regardless of ability to pay the standard membership or program fee. Those not able to pay the full fee may be awarded partial assistance based on their demonstrated ability to pay and the YMCA’s ability to fund the subsidy. Financial Aid will only be provided for Fox Valley Family YMCA members. Non-members are not eligible for Financial Aid. Families receiving Financial Aid will be eligible to receive a maximum of $1000.00 for every six months

Community Support Campaign: Walk into any of our program sites or facilities and you will see people of all ages and

incomes. If a person or family is unable to pay for membership, scholarships may be provided through donations from generous businesses, foundations and individuals. The demand for scholarships and program sponsorships increases every year. More than 1,000 individuals received assistance last year. Your gifts are needed to keep the YMCA open to all. Contributions can be made with stock, cash, credit card, or through a small increase to your monthly membership bank draft.

Capital Campaign: In addition to annual contributions for scholarship and program support, our YMCA is actively reinvesting in facilities to meet the needs of kids, teens, families, and seniors for generations to come. Every gift, large or small, is important as we look to your YMCA’s future.

EndowmEnt / HEritagE Club: The Heritage Club is an organization of people who have shown their long-term interest and support of our YMCA by either a direct contribution to the Endowment Fund, or by including the YMCA in their estate plans. It is the commitment rather than the amount that is the basic factor in qualifying as a Heritage Club member.

HEritagE Club mEmbErSHip: An individual or couple is qualified for Heritage Club membership by any of the following: An outright gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund of cash, securities, property, or other marketable assets. Creation of a unitrust, annuity trust, gift annuity, pooled-income fund, short-term trust or other life estate program. Naming the Fox Valley Family YMCA as the eventual recipient of a life insurance policy, qualified retirement plan, 401 (k), 403 (b), or IRA. Naming the Fox Valley Family YMCA to receive a bequest in one’s will. Expressing intent to do any one of the foregoing at such time as circumstances permit.

VoluntEEr: Donate your time! The YMCA is always looking for volunteers, especially for our special events. Youth who volunteer are less likely to engage in risky behavior, are more likely to feel connected to their communities, and tend to do better in school. Get involved today. Fill out a volunteer application at the YMCA or call for details.

If transferring from another Y as an active member, a $25 transfer fee must be paid (see YMCA AWAY program for details). If a member rejoins within the 60 day grace period the member will be required to pay a prorated amount back to the last active membership date.

Family Membership: Our family policy defines “family” as a legally married male and female and their dependent children. Children must be living in their household and under the age of 18, or 23 with proof of full-time college credit hours. These credit hours must be presented when membership is commenced and with every subsequent renewal.

Active Duty Military: Members who are enlisted in the U.S. Military and are interested in applying for a Military Family Membership Discount, may fill out an application at the front desk.

Membership Cards: All members must scan their membership cards upon entering the YMCA. There is a $5 charge for replacement cards. Membership cards are issued to members age 11 and older.

YMCA AWAY Program: The welcome mat is always out to you as a member at over 2500 YMCAs across the US. Present your membership card at participating Y’s. Those using our Y on the AWAY program may use our facility at no charge but may not bring guests, excluding those who are members of a Y within a 25 mile radius of our Y. (Any Y within a 25 mile radius of the Central Branch may use the facility 1 time per month as an AWAY Member. After their first initial visit per month they will need to purchase a day pass.)

If there was a previous annual membership, the membership will be transferred to the Fox Valley Family YMCA once the $25 fee is paid and it will expire on the original date of the membership. It is the responsibility of the individual to cancel their membership with their previous Y. Paying the transfer fee does not automatically cancel any existing memberships. AWAY members will be charged the non-member fee for classes.

Guest Policy: Guests must register with their sponsoring member at the front desk before using the facility. All guests must provide proper identification. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests. It is the responsibility of each member and their guest to abide by the rules of the Y and to act in an appropriate manner. Any person abusing the Y and/or exhibiting disruptive behavior will be asked to immediately vacate the premises without a refund. AWAY members may not bring guests. By participating in a Y program, it is assumed that all guests using the facility agree to the waiver of liability. Waiver can be found online at www.foxvalleyymca.org.

Membership Cancellation Policy: Your membership is important to us, if there is anything we can do to improve your member experience please let us know. Memberships are not available for credit or refund. Memberships may be placed on hold once per calendar year and will be charged a $10 monthly hold fee. Holds are limited to a maximum of 4 consecutive months. Annual expiration dates will roll over according to the number of months membership is placed on hold. There are no refunds on annual memberships. Bank draft cancellation forms must be completed 5 business days prior to the draft. Cancellations will not be accepted by fax, e-mail, or USPS mail. YMCAs are individually operated, therefore memberships are non-transferable. YMCA AWAY privileges may still apply. If you have a circumstance arise and need to cancel, you must notify the YMCA Membership Department within 72 hours of joining. If the member was enrolled in a Y class, the difference between the member and non-member rate will be taken

from the refundable amount. All requests are subject to a $10 processing fee. Cancellation Policy is subject to change.

Payment Plans: Membership fees are payable through a monthly bank draft. The monthly amount is debited directly from your account on the 15th of every month. Drafts are ongoing until cancelled in writing by the primary member no less than 5 business days prior to your draft. Cancellations are accepted in person only. Please keep in mind, MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

Lockers may be rented for a fee per month. Locker fees are non-refundable. Lockers are also available for daily use, please bring your own lock. The Y is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
