Ranell and Executive Director Shama Braucks were in attendance to provide the Council information on the new Forest Lake YMCA, located west of the Washington County Headwaters Service Center. Shama shared information on the evolution of the YMCA, which started in London, England and came to MN in 1856. The YMCA is a global and national organization, and the Forest Lake YMCA is part of a 22-branch association. She explained their mission and vision to help all. As a nonprofit, they make sure everyone is able to participate by offering scholarships. The YMCA offers hundreds of programs, including a youth in government and other leadership programs. Shama explained the Forest Lake YMCA broke ground on July 2015 on land donated by the City of Forest Lake, and a Grand Opening will be held in June. There are over 120 positions to be filled, and there is a board of 27 community members. Once the facility opens, they will be reaching out to be in partnership with cities and other non-profit community organizations. To get more information, visit their website at www.ymcatwincities.org, FaceBook, or call the Forest Lake or Lino Lake location. There is now a construction trailer on site and it will be staffed regular hours. The Council thanked Shama for presenting the information to Council and Ranell for volunteering to be on the Board.
