“Since the YMCA began here in this area way back in 1858, the leadership of volunteers and community partners has ensured that the mission spreads and inspires as many people as possible,” Brad Martell, president/CEO of the YMCA of the Iowa Mississippi Valley, said in a Thursday release.
“This is a perfect example of a community coming together to serve more and to develop healthy spirit, mind and body for all.”
The North Scott Community Y has been funded by the city of Eldridge and North Scott Community School District. The YMCA via a collaborative capital campaign group raised funds for the equipment. The Y will operate the new branch.
