Since my very first season I have been working with a group of moms who knew nothing of each other, and now 9 months later, have become the best of friends. They spend weekends together, celebrate holidays together and quite frequently host each others families for dinner or as they like to call it, ‘pasta nights.’ Every season since my arrival, I can always count on them to form a team, and every season they have been so enjoyable to be around. Most recently they have begun meeting on weekend mornings to run….just another way to incorporate a healthy lifestyle, and quality time with friends. It is these women who truly exemplify the mission of the YMCA of OC.” By Edgar Anzaldo, Sports Director
Y-Guides & PrincessesDecember was full of jolly fun for Y-Guides and Princesses! The Great Pacific Nation plied with Santa at the Westminster Ice Palace for their annual ice skating party, and the princesses were happy to hold daddy’s hand to keep their little fingers toasty! The Great Hunting Valley Nation partied down at the Huntington Beach Senior Center, where they were able to collect many toys for Toys for Tots and many dollars for Christmas gifts to give to military families in need. The Pacific Eagle and Great Coastal Nations joined the Trailblazers at the Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild game, where the blimp flew overhead and the Ducks mascot paid a visit to our stands. Unfortunately, the Ducks didn’t do to well, but we still had awesome time! Make way for the New Year as we head up the mountains for winter camps at Big Bear and rev up our engines at the 2008 pinewood derbies. And don’t forget to welcome Miss Taina Hyvren as our new YGP program director. Noonway Taina! YMCA Youth Achievers Program at Dwyer Middle SchoolThe YMCA has climbed the fence over to Dwyer! The same superior programming that the YMCA had brought to Smith Elementary School will be introducing the Youth Achievers program at Dwyer Middle School this winter! The Youth Achievers program is an after-school enrichment program that incorporates health and fitness activities, service learning projects, homework and tutoring, college and career education, and most importantly, character development…all of this while having a TON OF FUN! Enrollment is open to all youth in grades 6-8 and we plan to open the doors on Monday, February 4th, 2008! For more information, contact Sarah Love at 714-500-5246.

“ With a majority of my focus geared towards
the kids on the playing field, I tend to sometimes overlook how
and if the parents are having fun with their peers. I have one
example of our members building strong kids, strong families
and strong communities.
