Dear Franklin County’s YMCA Community,

It is with honor and privilege that I begin my 2 year tenure as President of the Board of Directors of the Franklin County YMCA. My family and I have been Y members since our arrival to Franklin County in 1985. Since becoming a member of the Y Board 5 years ago I have seen many positive changes.

Improvements to Camp Apex have taken place, the modernization of our roof and heating system are in progress, and the purchase of the adjacent Korean Zion Church have taken place in the past year.

After surviving the pandemic we are stronger than ever. We are more than a gym. Our Y provides a safe and nurturing environment for our youth and educational health programs for members of all ages. No one gets turned away from the Y because of financial restrictions. Our yearly golf tournament and annual campaign enables us to provide financial scholarships for those in need.

Our board is fortunate to collaborate with our CEO Grady Vigneau and his highly dedicated and professional staff.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I thank the Y community for your commitment
and look forward to working with you and for you in the coming year.

Respectfully,
Joseph Viadero, MD
