90 YEARS OF SERVICE

T he 90th year of our Y was one full of signature achievements. Just three months after

the Westport Weston Family Y’s downtown home was nearly closed for good by Super

Storm Sandy, we broke ground in February 2013, on our modern new Y at our 32-acre

Mahackeno campus.

The start of construction on the first stage of our new home, a full-service, family-oriented

54,000 sq. ft. facility, was followed by other milestones: The topping out of the steel girders that

form the handsome, Adirondack-style structure, in July; the enclosure of the building in October.

With the building safe and secure, the scores of skilled local workers managed by Turner

Construction were able to remain on schedule, and budget, through a long, cold, snowy winter.

As we were busy Building What Matters out at Mahackeno, in September we celebrated our

90th Anniversary with a festive block party on Church Lane. This historic occasion was made

more memorable by a special announcement that day: Our new facility will be forever known as

the Bedford Family Center, in honor of the continuing support of our Y and its mission by the

descendants of founder Edward T. Bedford.

A year of remarkable “Firsts” (and 90th’s!) is now being followed by a year of “Lasts” — chief

among them our last Annual Meeting on June 16 in our beloved old Bedford Building before we

move early this fall to our new Y. But as we say goodbye to our home for the past 90 years, we

will be bringing with us our shared mission of service to our members and the entire community,

and our commitment to the four core values that have long guided us: Caring, Honesty, Respect

and Responsibility.

Here’s to the next 90 years! Thank you for being a part of our Y family and for helping us achieve

our dream of a new Y. We hope to see you there this fall — at last!

Bonnie Strittmatter Pete Wolgast

President, Board of Directors Chairman, Board of Trustees

Great progress in Building What Matters over the past year, as we prepare to move into our new home in September.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Nurturing the potential of every child and teen

With nearly 40 percent of all local grade-school students active in Y programs and

activities, our Y serves thousands of children of all abilities each year.

In addition to an array of youth classes offered as part of our four seasonal sessions, our

Y also provides year-round opportunities for young Y members to pursue their passions

and develop skills through our competitive Dance, Gymnastics and Swimming programs.

Led by talented and dedicated coaches and instructors, and backed by amazingly

supportive groups of parent volunteers, these Y teams are where life-long friendships are

formed, goals set and dreams realized. We’re proud of each and every one of them, from

the Ladybug dancers of our Kinder Company, to our high-flying Competitive Gymnasts,

to the 200-member strong Water Rat Swim Team.

To help us better serve the needs of all local families, in the fall of 2013 our Y hosted a

series of discussions with parents of children with special needs. The results of these

talks have led to several new classes and activities designed especially for these special

Y families, including a Kidz in Motion dance class, Yoga for Kids with Special Needs

and Special Needs Arts & Crafts, with more such classes in the works.

Y SHOWTIME GYMNASTICS TEAM TO PERFORM IN NATION’S 4TH OF JULY PARADE

As if Gymnastics Director Sally Silverstein didn’t have enough on her plate this summer! Just

weeks after opening our new Y Gymnastics Center in Norwalk, Sally will be heading

down to Washington, DC, with our Advanced Showtime Team, which will march in America’s

Independence Day Parade. As only one group from each state is given the opportunity to perform

in the nation’s keynote parade, it’s quite an honor for Sally and her girls!

Water Rat Jonathan Blansfield will

swim for Northwestern this fall.

Cute as a bug: Dancers in the Y’s Creative Movement Class

wear their costumes for the annual Spring Performance.

HEALTHY LIVING Helping every member achieve their wellness goals

As one of our Membership Coordinators at the front desk, Midge Deverin hears about

members’ personal lives, their struggles and their accomplishments, like Jennifer Bridwell’s

inspirational Y story.

Jen joined our Y in July 2013. Several months earlier, she gave up soda for Lent, particularly

Coca-Cola, which was like an addiction for her. Jen weighed 320 lbs. The elimination of soda

from Jen’s diet led to the beginning of eating healthier and in smaller portions.

Although Jen joined a local gym, our Family Y became her primary fitness center. “I swim

laps three to four times a week, and I’ve taken Aqua Fit classes taught by Patty and

Debbie,” Jen told Midge this past January. “In addition, I had a fantastic personal training

session with Sharon and really liked her Cardio Combo class. And three months ago I

started the Insanity class taught by Perry and Lisa. WOW!”

Wow! is right: Jen lost 145 lbs in less than a year. She now weighs 175 lbs, and went from a

size 32W to a size 12. “I do not have a weight or size goal, just fitness goals,” Jen says. “I

recently ran one mile for the first time in my life, so my next goal is to run a 5K and then do

a Sprint Triathlon.”

Whatever your goals are, Midge promises our Y will be right there in helping you to achieve

them.

A trainer of champion Pugs, Jen embarked on her fitness regimen after realizing she

couldn’t keep up with her show dogs during Agility training.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Giving back and providing support to our neighbors

Children enrolled in the Family Y’s Kinderkids After School Program take part in

enrichment programs throughout the school year. Last fall’s learning opportunities featured

a special “Season of Giving” project that paid off in every way.

Of course, the idea of “giving” generally means having something to give, so our Kinderkids

first got a fun and engaging lesson about the concept of saving. Led by teacher

Miss Nancy Elyze Brier, the children made a special visit to the TD Bank in Westport.

“Nancy and I constantly reflect on the importance of teaching gratitude and creating a sense

of responsibility with young children,” says Tasha Dennison, director of the Y’s Child Care

and After School programs. “Savings accounts are big with Nancy, and having the kids visit a

real bank was not only fun but really helped them build on the concept of earning and saving

in a tangible, hand’s-on way.”

The “earning” part of this project was a group and family effort, with the children

accomplishing tasks at home for small amounts – 50 cents a task.

With their piggy banks growing fatter by the day the children then had to decide: Do they

spend the money to buy things for themselves? Or, this being the “season of giving,”

suggested Miss Nancy, should they think of ways to help those in our community who may

not be as fortunate as we are?

We’re pleased to report that our Kinderkids all wanted their newfound wealth — $600 in

all — to go to a deserving cause, which the kids decided would be the Meals on Wheels

programs in Westport and Norwalk.

Y Kinderkids celebrated their “Season of Giving” by giving a donation to Meals on Wheels

Coordinator Lynn Westfield of the Norwalk Senior Center.

Gala Opening Celebration We’re Building What Matters, and on October 11,

we’ll be Celebrating What Matters!

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL EVENING IN OUR NEW Y ON SATURDAY, OCT. 11

There is still much work (and excitement) in the months ahead as the Family Y completes the task

of Building What Matters – our modern new facility at the Y’s 32-acre Mahackeno campus. The

good news is that we remain on schedule for our opening early this fall, likely in September. And

with the complex task of building and outfitting our fully equipped, 54,000 sq. ft. facility now

nearly complete, we’re able to set our sights on Celebrating What Matters. On Saturday,

October 11, Y staff and volunteers will host a Gala Celebration, in our spacious new Gymnasium.

We invite Y members and supporters to join us for this memorable, historic occasion. Tickets are

available beginning at $250 a seat, along with a variety of table sponsorship opportunities, each

with special benefits ranging from special recognition at the Gala to chauffeur service to and

from the celebration.

“Our Gala promises to be a moment where we reflect on what we’ve accomplished and all that

our new Y will allow us to do for the next 90 years,” says Rob Reeves, Family Y CEO. “It’s an

evening to express our gratitude to the philanthropic leaders who have inspired us, and a night

to celebrate our continuing cause of strengthening our community. After so many years of hard

work, it will be quite a party!”

For further information or to book your seat or table, please contact Susie Haydon at

203-226-8981, or [email protected].

SPECIAL RECOGNITION Jim Donaher, Gault Inc.

THANK YOU, Y VOLUNTEERS!

In 2013, hundreds of Family Y volunteers contributed

more than 8,000 volunteer hours of service. Their

help allows our Y to continue to fulfill its mission to

develop our youth, promote healthy living and foster

social responsibility throughout the communities we

have served for the past 90 years.

IN MEMORIAM: Y LEADERS WE WILL MISS

Our Family Y recently suffered the loss of two of our most prominent and admired benefactors.

On May 1, former Y President, Trustee Emeritus and “Mr. Westport” Allen A. Raymond passed away at the age of 91. His contributions to our Y and the community we serve are legendary.

On May 10, Lucie C. McKinney, the great grand-daughter of Y founder Edward T. Bedford, died at the age of 80. She continued her family’s tradition of generous support to our Y and other note-worthy philanthropic causes. God bless you both!

Ken Dickinson, the Y’s 2013 Employee of the Year.

Megan Loffredo, Y Board Member and 2013 Volunteer of

the Year, with her husband, David, and daughters.

2013 Annual Campaign We Can Do So Much More Because Of You

The Family Y’s Annual Campaign helps us fulfill our mission to develop youth, promote healthy

living and foster a sense of social responsibility throughout our community. As a charitable,

nonprofit organization, our Family Y endeavors to serve all, regardless of financial capacity or

physical capability.

The 2013 Strong Kids Campaign generated $212,000 in charitable support from Y Members,

staff and other families, businesses and foundations in our community.

These contributions and additional indirect financial aid from the Family Y allowed us to

provide a total of $429,900 in financial aid last year to hundreds of deserving local families

and individuals of all ages, giving them the opportunity to participate in a multitude of

wellness and athletic programs, access to quality child care and the chance to be part of an

organization that adheres to the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

In 2013, our Y helped strengthen our community by providing:

$112,000 for families who need scholarship help to attend Camp,

receive Child Care, take swim lessons or be part of our

Sports & Recreation programs and activities;

$116,000 in subsidized or free Family Y Memberships.

A NEW, NATIONAL PLATFORM TO ENHANCE HOW WE TELL OUR STORY OF IMPACT

Though this was the last year our annual fundraising effort will be known as the Strong Kids

Campaign, our shared mission to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities will

continue – and expand in significant ways.

In January 2014, Y-USA launched a multi-year, Movement-wide effort to generate more resources

to support our cause. The Nationwide Campaign will include Movement-wide fundraising and

capacity-building executed largely through regional collaborations and supported by multi-faceted

engagement activities, including public relations, digital marketing, advertising and online giving.

For the first time, supporters can donate to our local Y through the Y’s national website at

ymca.net/give.

Through a shared focus to improve fundraising capacity and to increase the number of people who

engage with the Y, we move closer to realizing our full potential to strengthen our community.
