“I have been a member of the Appleton YMCA for 23-years. More than staying healthy physically (as I drop sweat on the racquetball courts and in the weight room) it has been a warm experience. The staff at the Y has made me and hundreds of members feel important. What a great family and organization!” - Steve Rose
