At the YMCA of the Shoals, we believe The Shoals is stronger when everyone in the community feels welcome and we can all work together for the common good. We are proud to be a part of Welcoming Week, which is demonstrating that in places large and small, rural and urban, people of all backgrounds are coming together to create stronger communities. It is a time to celebrate the shared values that unite us as neighbors, parents and colleagues, and to make our towns more welcoming to newcomers and to everyone who calls our community home. If you would like to help us celebrate your culture the week of the 17^th, contact Erin Blalock at 256-246-9622.
