Thank you to everyone who joined us for our birthday breakfast and panel discussion to celebrate our second year in our new location. It wouldn’t be a celebration without great company, impactful discussions, and a ‘happy birthday’ song from our Early Learning Program. Special shout out to our Executive Director Erina McWilliam-Lopez and our wonderful panel, Elaine McKechnie, Gerald MacKillop, Glen MacLeod, Jack Meany, Tim Flaherty, George Lieser and Chris Lovasco, who shared how the Y and the Gloucester community has impacted their lives and the lives of their families. In just two years, the new Cape Ann Y celebrates more than 11,000 members, nearly $1 million in financial assistance provided so everyone has access to the Y, and more than 400 children learning the life saving skill of swimming through our swim lesson program. With more fitness opportunities, an outdoor splash pad for families, summer camp, early education programming…

Tweens and Teens are invited to celebrate summer break this Friday, June 23rd at 3:00 pm with Local Paper Artist Katherine Morrison at the Sawyer Free Library at 21 Main Street in Gloucester. Everyone will all leave this hour long program with a stamped mini-book and having flexed your creative muscles!
