One Gift Works Many Wonders BY JOHN BINGHAM YMCA Director The Young Men’s Christian Associations throughout the Unit ed States, in every community, are participating agencies of the United Fund. Through the United Fund, the Y.M.C.A. is able to set forth its action in the com munity without having to spend a considerable amount of time raising money for operation and therefore can spend their time giving more and better service to the community. This fact, plus the fact that, through the United Fund the operation and purpose of the Y.M.C.A. becomes more of a community oriented agency where everyone can lend to its support and become more aware of its services to the community. The Greater CUnton Y.M.C.A. is now one year old in its opera tion and service to the Clinton Community. The progress and programs of the Y.M.C.A. in these twelve months have been largely responsible to the sup port given by the United Fund of Clinton, toe Community Fund of Joanna, business and industry, as well as individuals through out the entire area. The Y.M.C.A. asks that this support continue through the efforts of the United Fund to raise the necessary funds so that the agencies of the Unit ed Fund can continue to serve the community. The Y.M.C.A. itself is a vol unteer membership organiza tion, as such, it is free to de termine its purpose and its ap preciate constituency. The Y.M.C.A.'s aims are formed by toe association itself and what it does is primarily for those who agree to cooperate in the achieve ment of these aims. Opportunities for members to participate in the determina tion of policies and plans are provided in every part of the or ganization. These opportunities include participation in groups and activities, service as offi cers of clubs, coaches of teams, leaders of groups, membership in boards and committees, and other policy-making groups, and as interpreters of toe associa tion to their friends, co-workers, and others in the community. The strength of the Y.M.C.A. is de rived largely from those mem bers who understand its central objective and who participate responsibly in its activities with satisfaction. Throughout most of its history of more than a hundred years, the membership of the Y.M.C.A. has consisted of two general classifications of persons. First, those who join the Association as evidence of their interest in and desire to support the Associa tion in achieving its central ob jective of developing Christian standards of living, conduct, and life purpose in its membership and constituency; and second, those who join the Association in order to participate in some phase of its program or activi ties. Membership is noted because of the unity that draws a com munity together in a common cause to better fulfill the needs that exist and give meaning to the organization in carrying out its objectives and purpose in the community. The Greater Clinton Y.M.C.A. now has almost 1,200 members which reflects the in terest of the people of Clinton in the Y.M.C.A. The program of the Y.M.C.A. over the past twelve months has developed into a well rounded list of youth activities. Here is a list of activities that have been organized and carried out by the Y.M.C.A.: Eighteen clubs con sisting of BoysGra-Y, GirlsTri- Gra-Y, and Tri-Hi-Y; Twenty basketball teams for boys, girls, and men, seventeen baseball teams for boys, four playgrounds throughout the community for boys and girls, including tennis instruction and archery; two swimming pools were operated under the supervision of the ‘Y’ with some 400 people enrolled in swimming classes of which over 250 learned to swim. Two Day Camps were conducted, one for boys and one for girls, with 80 boys and girls attending. Re cords show that over 3,000 have been enrolled in the Y.M.C.A. Programs since January with an attendance of over 100,000. This reflects a great interest in the Y.M.C.A. by the community and the Y.M.C.A. urges this con tinued interest through partici pation in toe United Drive that will get under way very shortly. ✓ IT’S A YEAR OF LEATHERS...
