Dear Y Members, please watch and listen to the video message from Tim Bartlett, Central Connecticut Coast YMCA, Senior Vice President & COO.
The Hamden/North Haven YMCA, a branch of the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA, needs you to maintain your membership!
All of us are absorbing the impact of COVID-19 on our lives and figuring out how to adjust to this sudden and dramatically changing situation. Here at the Y, we are working very hard during this crisis to continue to serve our communities’ most fragile people and families, retain our staff and pay rather significant fixed costs until we can all get back to our normal lives.
The Y needs your membership now even more than ever. While we are temporarily closed, all memberships are on hold. No accounts will be charged. However, the single biggest way for us to maintain stability is for you to maintain your Y membership through this crisis. Please email us and tell us it’s ok to keep your membership active.
We know this situation has also impacted you and your family! We’re here for you.
You’ve enjoyed all that the Y offers and brings to you and your family in the past. With you, we hope to return to the Y that we all love. Right now, we need you to please stay with us. Please keep your Y membership. The Y is here for you and for our community.
Thank you for your participation in the Y now and always. Please stay safe and healthy.
At the Hamden/North Haven YMCA, the safety and well-being of our members, volunteers, staff and our broader community have always been our top priority.
We have been diligently monitoring all national and local updates surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. In order to best ensure the health of our entire Y community, we are following Governor Lamont’s order to temporarily close the Hamden/North Haven YMCA, 1605 Sherman Avenue to the public effective March 16, 2020.
During this closure, you can expect regular updates from us via email, on our website and our Facebook.
We are asking everyone to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and take their own measures to protect themselves, including not putting themselves in situations with large crowds or where they come in close contact with others, staying home if they do not feel well, frequently washing their hands with soap and water and covering their coughs and sneezes.
We will continue to work with the health department and local physicians to determine what other actions, if any, would be prudent on our part and when it will be safe to reopen our facilities.
Thank you for understanding as we navigate this evolving and challenging situation.
