Dear Dr. Turner,
The world is 71% water. Children are 100% curious.
Since 1974, the Corona-Norco Family YMCA has served hundreds of thousands of Corona residents through our Youth and Family Programs. We have impacted many lives from infancy through maturity and have worked alongside countless partners to strengthen our community in the areas of Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
In recent dialogue, our YMCA Board of Directors have shared the desire to expand our YMCA services in ways that the community needs at this time. In reviewing Corona's strategic plan which includes the desire to build community through celebrating our rich heritage, increasing access to recreational and cultural activities, and improving the relationship between the City and residents, we believe this partnership could catapult the opportunity to meet these goals ensuring that residents rate Corona as an excellent place to live.
The YMCA asks that the city consider partnering with us for future community aquatic programming. This would include a full menu of YMCA swim lessons at multi swim levels for children and families, exercise and fitness water classes for all ages, recreational fun for seniors, lap swimming, as well as leading community water events, and water safety classes. The YMCA would provide operational and fiduciary oversight and work alongside the City in program development and community outreach.
The YMCA has a long history and strong track record of providing successful water safety programs, both recreational as well as a formal lesson structure, to communities across the nation. We are experienced in providing education, safety and recreation programs while collaborating with school districts, funders, partners, and the community at large.
We hope you will consider this ideal time to partner as we work alongside one another to ensure our community thrives in the years to come. The Y is "America's Swim Instructor" and we are ready and excited to partner with you!
