🎃🕸️ Spooky Family Slime Night Fun! 👻🧪

We had such a slime-tastic time at our Spooky Family Slime Night! Families got creative making their own ooey-gooey Halloween slime, enjoyed snacks, and made fun memories together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night full of laughs, creativity, and spooky fun — we loved seeing all the smiling faces!

A huge thank you to Howmet Aerospace Foundation for their generous support, which allows us to offer these fun programs for families in our community. 💙

Turns out, the best place to make new friends as an adult isn’t a networking event or a coffee shop—it’s a pickleball court at the Y. You show up thinking you’ll get a little exercise, and suddenly you’re in a doubles match with someone named Carol who brings orange slices for everyone. It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and somehow it works. At the Y, it’s not just about the game—it’s about the people. The missed shots, the shared laughs, the “we should totally do this every week” moments. This is where community happens, one d**k at a time.

💙On Thursday, October 23rd, the Elston YMCA community came together to honor the legacy of Bobbi Petru, whose dedication and leadership were instrumental in establishing a thriving YMCA in the former Elston High School building at 1202 Spring Street.

Local dignitaries, friends, and colleagues spoke with deep appreciation for Bobbi’s many years of service and her lasting impact on building a healthier, more caring community in the Elston neighborhood.

Two attendees shared emotional stories, crediting Bobbi for helping them learn to swim later in life as older adults—a true testament to her encouragement and compassion.

The atmosphere in the Elston YMCA multipurpose room was filled with respect, gratitude, and admiration. Following the speeches and a prayer, guests enjoyed a potluck luncheon lovingly prepared by YMCA members and staff.

Thank you for all the memories, Bobbi! Your kindness and dedication continue to inspire us all💙

💙Turns out, the secret to staying young is laughter, movement, and maybe a little friendly trash talk after class. Here, active older adults don’t just find fitness—they also find friendship, connection, and community. This chapter? It might just be the best one yet.
