At our Tuesday Nov 14th meeting, we were honored to have Robert Gallagher, CEO of the North Penn YMCA give a presentation as our guest speaker. Bob has dedicated his adult life to community service and the well-being of others. His long-standing tenure with the North Penn YMCA certainly fits this role. Bob informed our Club that the YMCA will be building a new state of the art gymnasium and expanded Wellness Center at their North Penn Commons location. Their large membership enjoys the many amenities at the local branch including a beautiful Olympic size pool enjoyed by all ages, exercise rooms & classes as well as a new "EZone" featuring virtual sports, golf simulators & gaming (very cool!!) Nationwide, the YMCA is the largest child care provider and the facility at the North Penn branch is top notch! Did you know that both basketball and volleyball were invented at the YMCA? The North Penn YMCA's charitability in the community is over a half million dollars! Thank you, Bob, and your team of dedicated employees & volunteers for your commitment to the North Penn community, and for making the North Penn YMCA a place where all feel welcomed while putting our health and wellness in the forefront.
