A dedicated group of active older adults has become the force behind many of the older adult programs at the YMCA of the Northwoods. The Senior Advisory Committee meets monthly to provide ideas and suggestions.
“Since the inception of the Active Older Adult Department (AOA) at the Y, the Senior Advisory Committee has been instrumental in providing a strong, active senior membership at the Y,” said coordinator Marilyn Duschl. “I rely on them to suggest new program ideas, help with fundraisers, keep me in touch with the needs of the seniors in our area and help me stay connected to our members and the community.”
