HUTCHINSON, Kan. — David Foster with the Hutchinson YMCA said there is enough membership support to justify the expansion they are looking toward in the coming years.
"We've actually grown quite a bit, as far as our membership goes, from January through October," Foster said. "Right now, we have a little over 1900 units of membership. A unit could be a family of one or it could be a family of ten. We've got roughly 4100 total members at our YMCA."
The merger has helped the Hutchinson location be profitable following the pandemic.
"We're operating in the black this year, which is always a good thing," Foster said. "We'll just continue to build on that, thanks to our strong membership year we've had and our programs have gone really well, too. We're looking forward to that continuing as we move into 2023."
The hope is for the YMCA to be able to figure out the scope of any expansion sometime next year, as it will probably take a couple of years to raise money for whatever they decide to do.
