The Trenton
YMCA located at 431 Pennington Road offers a myriad of services to the
community. On this particular day myself
and ~100 others came to the brightly lit and buzzing with activity facility.
The
following message from CEO Samuel Frisby says it all.
The YMCA of Trenton
is an organization with a long standing history in the Mercer County
area. Founded in 1856, this Y was one of the very first in the United
States of America, considering that YMCA’s did not come to the USA until
1850. The very first professional basketball game was played at the YMCA
in Trenton; our history has been proud and strong, but our future is even
stronger.
Here at the YMCA of
Trenton the Board of Directors and the Staff share a commitment to nurturing
the potential of our most valuable asset as a community, our children,
promoting healthy living and fostering a strong sense of social responsibility. During
these tough economic times Trenton like many other cities is going through many
difficult challenges, but there are no challenges that communities who
genuinely care about the well being of each other cannot overcome. The YMCA
of Trenton is committed to creating an environment that allows families and
communities to grow together.
Our organization
stands on the foundation of Y-USA, our national organization which is 21
million strong and has more than 2,600 Y associations nationwide. With the
assistance of this network we will continue to build stronger programs, engage
more volunteers and strengthen the connections of the communities we serve in
Trenton, Ewing and Lawrence. This Y is more than memberships; we are
building healthy and strong relationships one person at a time.
During my
tour of the facility and conversations with staff and visitors the feeling of
happiness was throughout. This included
my time chatting with Noemi from the American Diabetes Association in
partnership who was on site as a vendor sharing information about the Diabetes
Health Management Program at the 140+ year old St. Francis Hospital.
Fitness,
Dance and Special Events Director Renee Riddle-Davison introduced me to
Faith-Based Dance team that practices in 1 of the 2 studios. The music of LE-EM Productions provided an
appropriate mix of music for the diverse crowd.
Going forward I expect the Trenton YMCA to continue to build upon its history
of providing an environment for the family.
