To the editor:

Thank you to the Brown County YMCA. This community treasure is a social and athletic center. Whether you are new or old to the area, check it out. The classes and programs will suit many of your needs, the staff is welcoming, and the members are a nice mix of abilities and interests. You will surely find something that fits your schedule and needs.

A special thank you to the Y for putting on the 4th annual Hilly Half marathon/walk. The details that go into this event are numerous, and the results are fun and friendly. My spouse and I bring along whatever of our kids and grandkids are available, and we find it an easy-to-do family activity that washes over to a get-together at our cabin.
