Much like the quote above, “Y Magic” occurs when members share their powerful stories about believing in themselves. Stories about how they have connected, reached their goals, learned something new, broadened their horizons, strengthened their bodies and their minds — making anything they can imagine happen. All through the Y. That’s Y Magic.

On Tuesday, April 8, the Boothbay Region YMCA invites you to attend its Annual Dinner where “Y Magic” will be captured and shared from the very beginning of the evening until the end in a variety of ways. The program begins at 5:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and punch. Dinner is at 6:15 p.m. catered by Kim Mills and served by Y Leaders Club youth; the menu will be lasagna (your choice of meat or vegetable), green salad, rolls and brownie delight; then the program, including recognition, awards and Y-Arts Magic. Tickets are $16 at the Y front desk.

This is the one evening of the year that all YMCA volunteers, staff and members come together at the Y and celebrate youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Friends, peers, neighbors, co-workers, family members, donors — are recognized for their time, talent and energy. It is also an opportunity for the community to be educated about the Y’s three focus areas Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsiblity. Finally, our Y-Arts youth and adults of all ages will come together to spread their “Y Magic” to all of us.

Please join us for an evening of Y celebration. Purchase your tickets at the Y front desk by April 2, 2014.
