YMCA Staff Celebrate Earth Day

Tuesday, April 22nd was a beautiful spring day and the staff at the Greater Portland YMCA took the opportunity to spruce up the YMCA entrance in honor of Earth Day. Terry Swain donated a variety of flowers and a group of staff chipped in to help plant them. We hope you enjoy this little splashes of color as you enter the building!
