rom the start of the YMCAs Capital Campaign, the opening lines of a poemave been running through my head:

Somebody said that it couldnt be done,But, she with a chuckle replied

That maybe it couldnt, but she would be oneWho wouldnt say so till shed tried.*

nthespiritofthispoem,dozensofvolunteersfromthecommunitystaff,

nd the Ys board leadership dug right in and began the audacious task ofaising $4 million. Here we are, nearly two years later with $3.1 pledged andenovations underway. But, we still need daily usersY membersto helps raise the remaining $900,000 and reach our goal. If every Y member gave3/year, for five years, we would make our goal! I believe that Y membersot only want to see their facility refreshed, remodeled and reinvigorated,

hey want to ensure that the Ys mission to healthy kids and families goes fareyond the day-to-day use of the facility and into the future. We need yourledge. Please go to www.duluthymca.org, Giving Page, and click on makedonation. Then youll be able to say, like the rest of the poem says:

Justtakeoffyourcoatandgotoit;JuststarttosingasyoutacklethethingThat couldnt be done, and youll do it.
