If this photo taken February 5 while MWRC President Colleen Coons was at the Ross Farnsworth East Valley Family YMCA during the 2024 Mesa Leadership Class tour of the facility looks familiar, it's because our club toured the facility May 11, 2023. Our own member, Greg Bouslog, is the manager of the center and is shown in this photo making his presentation to the class. Greg himself is a graduate of the Mesa Leadership Class of 2023. In fact, the 2023 YMCA tour may have played a pivotal role in Colleen's decision to apply to be in this year's Leadership Class so she could better connect Mesa West Rotary to the community during her year of service as our Club President. Greg asked Colleen to say "Hi!" to his fellow-Rotarians.
One of the take-aways from the 2024 tour for Colleen was that if individuals who have "Silver Sneakers," the Y gets paid by Medicare each time they swipe their membership cards at the Y.
