Membership Dues
Dear Members:
In accordance with Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Executive Order, requiring social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19, we were forced to close our membership facilities yesterday at 3 pm and will remain closed through Monday, March 30. The reopening date of Tuesday, March 31 is subject to change as the impact of the coronavirus continues to evolve. During the closure, the Sherman Lake YMCA will be deep cleaned and sanitized.
Once we determine when we will be able to re-open, we will communicate our decision via e-mail, our website (www.shermanlakeymca.org), and our Facebook pages.At this point in time, we anticipate a full return to normal operations as soon as this crisis is resolved and we look forward to offering all of the services we provide every summer including summer camp, swim lessons, group fitness, and special events.
MEMBERSHIP DUES
We urge you to keep your membership active during this crisis. We have been in touch with the Kalamazoo County Health Department, American Red Cross and the United Way to lend a hand. We aren't exactly sure where the greatest need is currently, but we know there will be a need soon and we will be there to help. Allowing us to count your membership fee as a donation, even though our facility is closed, will allow us to serve vulnerable populations in our community, assisting those who need us most. Whatever option you choose, we thank you for your support and understanding.
All members have a choice regarding their membership dues:
You may consider your membership dues a donation to the Y*. If this is your choice, thank you. We will provide a gift acknowledgement letter for tax purposes.
You may put your membership on hold (at no cost). Your membership dues will be prorated and extended for lost time.
You may cancel your membership. If you choose to cancel your membership at this time, we will waive 50% of the joiner's fee if you reactivate your membership within the next year.
Please click on the button below to complete a short form and select your choice from the options listed above.
*Unless you specify otherwise, your membership fees already paid by bank draft/credit card will be regarded as a donation, enabling us to meet critical needs for those who rely on the YMCA. A gift acknowledgement letter for tax purposes will be provided.
For any other questions about the status of your membership, please contact our Membership Director, Rebecca Balko, at memberservices@ymcasl.org.
Please take care of yourself and one another. Together, we will get through this and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Sincerely,
Zach Klipsch
Executive Director, Sherman Lake YMCA
