SO MUCH MORE
The Y gives my boys security
and a sense of belonging.
Stephanie Doll, Easley
Stephanie and her four kids have just traveled the long road
from an abusive situation to a womens shelter to a home of
their own. While Stephanie works six days a week, her three
older children enjoy scholarships and security in
various Y programs.
The Y is our saving grace!

Trina Pitts, Easley
When Trinas adult daughter became gravely ill, the toughest
challenge was how to provide safe, consistent, affordable
care for her little girl. For the Pitts family, scholarships to
Y summer camp and afterschool programs were an
answer to prayer.
The Y helped me recover

from a stroke.
David Rodrigues, Pickens
The physical therapy Davids doctor prescribed cost more
than he could afford. So he returned to his arthritis water
class at the Y and started using our exercise machines.
David now thanks God for his recovery, and Y staff and
fellow class members for their support.

November 2014-April 2015
Im not afraid anymore!

Christopher Day, Easley
Thirteen-year-old Christopher, who couldnt swim and
feared water, now confidently streaks across the pool
thanks to eight swimming lessons with his best friends.
Christophers lessons were made possible by a grant from
YMCA of the USA.
With the Y I am confident I

will have everything I need to
come full circle and one day
pay it forward.
Kristi Ward, Pickens
In 2008, the Ward familys life changed forever when

Kristi was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and a few
years later her 6 year old son was diagnosed with autism.
Through YMCA programs and membership, Kristi and her
family were able to get the support they needed to
continue moving forward.
Im raising my boys to be
good husbands and
fathers with lots of help
from the Y.
Shirley Roberts, Easley
Shirley, a single, working grandmother, is raising
Patton and Vincent with limited family support.

MY Y MEMBERSHIP
Our hope is that the Y is more than just a place to come and workout. We want it to be about the experience
you have and the endless possibilities to be a part of something more than just a gym. Our YMCA has
something to offer for all ages. At the YMCA we strive to change lives by providing the tools for people to lead
a healthier lifestyle and by offering a variety of classes and programs where you can meet new people who
share the same interests. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Membership
Type
Open to All - Income Based

As a non-profit, we want everyone to be a part of the YMCA,
regardless of race, gender, beliefs, age or income. Because of
that, we have pricing based on your specific situation.
Your membership rate is adjustable based on your total
household income, number of adults and number of children on
the account. The rates listed here are for those whose
household income is $45,000 or more per year.
Please visit our website to see what your specific pricing will
be. The pricing will be good for 24 months from the time the
membership begins.
In order to adjust your rate, you must present a current tax
return to verify household income at the time you join
and again every two years. Accepted documents for income
verification include the 1040, 1040EZ or 1040A.
A staff member will view line 22 of your 1040, line 4 of your
1040EZ or line 15 of your 1040A. For more details, view our
FAQs online.
If you are not required to file taxes, please present a statement
of non-filing, which can be obtained for free by calling
1-800-829-1040 or visiting the IRS website.
In those cases where the most recent tax return does not
reflect the current circumstances, you can submit your story
and situation online so that we can help you in any way we can.
Please visit www.pcymca.net/membership.php
A.W.A.Y. Program
As a member of our YMCA, when you're traveling, you can

guidance on how to develop their childs abilities and how
to protect their child from harm in, on, and around the
water; children are given the chance to explore a new
environment and to build skills that add to their selfconfidence. Both benefit from taking part in an experience
that lets them learn and have fun together in the water.

OPERATION
SAVE A LIFE
Since 2009, the Pickens County YMCA has been focusing on reducing the
drowning rate in Pickens County and Northern Anderson County.
Our goal has been to teach as many children as we can to swim,
as well as basic water safety.
In 2012, we taught 609 children to swim at the Easley and Pickens
YMCA; of which 219 children were taught for free. The local schools
refer need based children in the 2nd & 3rd grade to the Y and we teach
them water safety and swimming basics at no cost to them.
My six year old was not a proficient

swimmer but wanted to join a swim
team. We signed up for lessons hoping
to improve. He was nervous, but the
staff was so encouraging and helped
coax him along. I loved that each lesson
began with character instruction and
ended in prayer. The experience was
more than just a swim lesson. By the
end, he was ready to join the swim team
with confidence, and he knew he had
the support of his friends at the Y.
-Jacci Wood
ADDITIONAL INFO
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING?
Children who are not potty-trained need to
wear a swim diaper. Long hair needs to be
tied-back to help them swim without the
distraction of hair in the face. Although not
required, we suggest that girls wear a one
piece suit so that they do not have to adjust
it while swimming.
CAN I WATCH MY CHILDS LESSON?
Yes! We require that parents stay during
lessons but ask that parents stay within the
seating areas so that the children are not
distracted.
WHAT IF WE MISS A CLASS?
Refunds and/or make-up classes will not be
offered for missed classes.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING BAD WEATHER?
The decision to cancel classes due to
inclement weather will be made as early as
possible. We will notify you of any
cancellations as soon as we can.
All sessions have 2 inclement weather make
up dates set in case classes are cancelled.
However, the YMCA can only guarantee 6
classes per session. Inclement weather make
-up days are typically on Fridays, same time.
WHAT IF MY CHILD CANNOT PARTICIPATE?
Once a session has begun, if the child is
pulled out of the class by the parents/
guardians, the YMCA will only issue a credit.
No refunds will be issued.
This initiative is funded by the Share the Spirit Fund. (See page 34)

your party may have. The YMCA Party Host is available to serve food, cut cake and provide games. They are there to serve you and
your guests, so please don't hesitate to ask for assistance. Once registered, please be sure to stop by the Member Services desk to

HEALTHY LIVING
Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. Its about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a
place where you can work towards that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with
friends through our lifelong learning programs, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered
activities. At the Y, its not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside
as well as the outside.

WHAT IS THE DANIEL PLAN?

The Daniel Plan is a groundbreaking healthy lifestyle educational program founded on
biblical principles and focused on The Essentials: Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus and
Friends. The program offers an innovative approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle
where people get better together by optimizing their health in each of these life areas.
Each essential supports and influences the others, offering a practical step-by-step
approach for anyone to follow.
The essentials of Faith and Friends are what we call the secret sauce that makes The
Daniel Plan so effective. The program benefits are accelerated when done in a
supportive community of friends because God designed us to thrive in relationships.
We have learned that the process of getting healthy and staying healthy relies on the
support and encouragement of friends. With the support of God and your group, you
have far more than willpower helping you to make positive changes so you can be
consistent and sustain your new healthy lifestyle.
The overarching message of The Daniel Plan is about abundance, not deprivation, and this is why the
plan is both transformational and sustainable. The Daniel Plan teaches a step-by-step approach and
offers simple ways to incorporate healthy choices into your current lifestyle. Throughout the program
you are encouraged to rely on Gods power, and the application of dependable biblical principles.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Daniel Plan at the YMCA is a 7 week program that meets weekly to engage in conversation on how
to incorporate biblical teachings of health and wellness into our lives. Each week we address one of the
5 essential elements of a biblical healthy lifestyle.
Week 1: Introduction
You will receive The Daniel Plan book and Journal during the first
Week 2: Faith
meeting of your class. This will be your primary guide through
Week 3: Food
the program.
Week 4: Fitness
We encourage you to sign-up with at least one friend. While we hope
Week 5: Focus
you will make new friends in the class, having at least one person you
Week 6: Friends
connect well with will help keep you committed and accountable.
Week 7: Living the Lifestyle
WHY DOES IT BEGIN WITH FAITH?

The Daniel Plan starts with faith, because spiritual health gives you a foundation for building habits and
perspectives for health in any area. Health comes from recognizing and using Gods power in your life
and treating your body and mind with the care that he intended.
If you dont trust God to help you get healthy, all you are left with is willpowerand you know from
experience that willpower doesnt usually last very long. You get tired of doing whats right, and you
give up. Many self-help books tell you how to change, while The Daniel Plan gives you the power to
change Gods power.

NEW IMPACT
A Healthy Lifestyle
Program
The Children's Hospital of Greenville Health System designed

this comprehensive weight management program for children
ages 6 to 21. The mission of NEW IMPACT is to treat
overweight and obese children in the upstate of South Carolina
and empower them to develop active and healthy lifestyles. Our
team members target the exercise and eating behavior of the
entire family system. In 2013, the Easley and Pickens YMCAs
partnered with New Impact to begin serving children from our
community who were enrolled in the program.
Who is Eligible?
Your child must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than
or equal to the 85th percentile. Increased BMI is an
indicator of an increased risk of adult-type health
problems. (To calculate your childs BMI, go to
http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/ ).
If your child meets the above criteria, ask your physician

about NEW IMPACT or call the New Impact office @
675-3488 or newimpact@ghs.org

SHARE THE SPIRIT

Each year, the Pickens County YMCA scholarships thousands of dollars to families and children in need in our community. We offer
valuable services that many in our community need and want to be a part of such as afterschool and summer camp. As a non-profit,
we strive to serve everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We raise money each year to fund what we call the Share the Spirit
Fund, which allocates money to those asking for help. All money that is donated to our Y stays in our community and goes directly
to those in need. In 2013, our YMCA provided $113,878 in scholarships!
Like many other non-profits, we strive to raise money so that we do not have to turn anyone away that is in need. However, in 2013
we were only able to raise $83,114 through direct donations, United Way and special events.

for the Share the Spirit Fund (pg 26). Soliciting funds is
something that all Board Members and staff do in service of the
Pickens County YMCA.
WITNESS
Sharing with the community, friends, and family about the
YMCA and its impact on the community is an important factor
of being a great board member.
WISDOM
When the YMCA needs to make important decisions, the
collective experience of the Board Members are critical in
making wise decisions.
If you have an interest in serving on the board, please contact
