LOBBY FURNITURE REFRESH

 PROJECT – LOBBY FURNITURE UPHOLSTERY

The material on the backs of the soft seating in the lobby area is splitting and separating.

FINAL STATUS UPDATE – March 30, 2026

The last chair is complete. Thanks to Morelli’s Upholstery for the expert craftsman ship and pride put into each chair and bench!

 

STATUS UPDATE – March 16, 2026

Now that these look so good, there’s one chair left that looked good until we re-covered the others. So as soon as the material comes in, the one misfit chair that’s kind of looking a little sad will also be reupholstered. If it disappears from the lineup, you know where it’s at.

STATUS UPDATE – February 27, 2026

Got em’ done! They look great. Shout out to Morelli Upholstery for their crafstmanship.

STATUS UPDATE – JANUARY 27, 2026

Two of the single chairs have been taken up to Morelli Upholstery for repair. When finished, those will be returned and the longer bench taken up for repair.

STATUS UPDATE – JANUARY 6, 2026

The fabric has been selected and the order has been placed. It’ll likely be one chair at a time, so you’ll see a chair missing while they’re working on it, then another disappear once the repairs are completed to the one before.

STATUS UPDATE – DECEMBER 26, 2025

Pictures of the furniture have been sent to Morelli’s Upholstery who is in the process of pulling some material options to get these repaired. Once chosen, we’ll likely be transporting individual pieces to their shop, having those repairs done, then bring it back and send another. They are backed up several weeks at present, but hope to have that process started ASAP.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Camp Fitch YMCA Polar Bear Plunge

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend Camp Fitch YMCA. To turn that mission into reality, Camp Fitch has hosted their annual Polar Bear Plunge for the last 15 years! Staff, alumni, campers, and anyone else who wants to join the cause jump into the icy waters of Lake Erie with the same purpose: to give the life-changing opportunity of camp to kids who would otherwise be unable to afford. All are welcome to join the fun (without any pressure to jump in Lake Erie)! We will have food, games, and raffles for everyone to participate in.

Davis Family YMCA Golf Outing

The Davis Family YMCA is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community. For 13 years we have hosted the annual golf outing, raising funds to ensure that YMCA programs and membership opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of financial means. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or trying it for the first time, this event is a hole-in-one for fun, fellowship, and community impact! Swing by for a day of golf, great company, and the chance to support the charitable work of the YMCA of Youngstown.

Central YMCA Gala

Join us for the First Annual Central Gala, where we’ll come together to celebrate the impact we’re making in our community. The theme for this year’s event, A Better Future Starts with You, will highlight the YMCA’s ongoing mission to strengthen our community through programs that promote healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility. The event will take place on September 25, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Maronite Center. Please wear your semi-formal evening attire that reflects the elegance of the occasion and the spirit of connection we nurture at the Y. This is a chance to make a lasting difference while enjoying an evening filled with hope, impact, and inspiration. We look forward to sharing this experience with you!
