Stick With Us Response Form

Dear Members,

 

This is a challenging time; unlike anything we have experienced. While we need to maintain social distance today, our Y community is strong and connected. We will get through this together and when we emerge from this challenging moment, we look forward to welcoming you and your families back through our doors.

We’re asking you to stick with us if you can. Your support ensures that the Y we know, and love will continue to thrive after this situation has subsided.

When you belong to the Y, you are not only a member of a health and wellness facility, you are a member of a charitable organization dedicated to strengthening our community. We are continuing to support our community while our facility operations are temporarily suspended. 

How we are supporting our community:

  • We have completed calls to a variety of children, families, and seniors to support and connect during this time of isolation.
  • We have strived to support our employees, who are your neighbors, friends, and colleagues while complying with CDC and federal recommendations.
  • We have completed deep cleaning and maintenance projects to enhance your member experience upon our reopening.
  • We are working to coordinate blood and food drives to support the critical needs of our community.

Your health, and the health of our community, continues to be a top priority for the Hobart Family YMCA. To maintain your health during this time we will continue to share healthful and helpful resources on our Facebook and Instagram and our Y Blog. We have also partnered with the Crossroads YMCA to provide you with virtual resources at no extra cost. They can be played from any device in the comfort of your home. Click here for virtual memberships.

If it’s your choice to support us with your fees – thank you.  If you would like to do something different, we are able to assist you. Please complete the Google Form below to inform us of your decision. 

Please notify us by 4:00 pm on Friday, April 3rd of your requested membership changes.

Dear Hobart Family YMCA Community,

We regret to inform you that the Hobart Family YMCA will not be continuing with any of our regularly scheduled programs effective Saturday, March 14th, 2020 through Tuesday, March 31st, 2020. Our childcare programs will not resume until Monday April 13th, 2020, to be proactive in the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will reevaluate the state of our decision and communicate another update by Monday, March 30th, 2020.

The following classes and services will not be available:

  • 1st Choice Before and After School program

For those who are currently registered in a paid program affected by the cancellation of classes, you will be issued a prorated system credit reflecting the classes that will be missed during the program shut down. (example: The Tiny Ballerina member class participants will be credited $10.87 for the three (3) classes missed and the non-member class participants will be credited $18.37.) Please allow us up to fourteen (14) full business days to make those credits on your account available.

We are also, postponing both Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, March 21st and Swim, Splash, Hunt on Saturday, April 4th, 2020. We have reached this decision to assist our community to avoid large crowds and mass public events. We will provide plenty of notice when these events are rescheduled.

Our facility will remain open to current members however, we do insist that for public safety and concern at this time that those who are high risk, please ensure you are making decisions for yourself accordingly.

The CDC is making rapid updates about the condition of the COVID-19 pandemic. To stay informed please visit, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html.
