From
the President …
Dear Friends,
I am so proud of the growth of the YMCA of Delaware.
George Land in his book Grow or Die: The Unifying Principle of
Transformation asserts that all living organisms are either growing
or dying; there is no sustainable stasis. I believe this is also
true for the YMCA. There is no such thing as the status quo; there
simply is no in-between. Community organizations that seek to
“maintain” can rust before our very eyes if we are
not careful.
The YMCA of Delaware remains relevant and responsive
to contemporary community needs – not just by growing
bigger or replicating proven programs and facilities – but
by carefully reinventing itself. Today’s YMCA is different
than the past and will be in the future.
This issue of “Mission” highlights some
of our recent growth.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Graves
President, YMCA of Delaware
