THE NORTH SUBURBAN YMCA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH<br />
TENSLEY GARRIS -PRESIDE<strong>NT</strong> OF THE NORTHBROOK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE<br />
“The relationship between the North Suburban YMCA and the<br />
Northbrook Chamber goes back even farther than the Y’s actual<br />
building. The Y’s founders joined the Chamber in the summer of 1967,<br />
when fundraising for a Y facility in Northbrook was just beginning to<br />
gather steam. Those early Y advocates, led by Ken Thiel, Jim Otis, and<br />
many others, built connections with Chamber members that helped<br />
make the Y an essential part of our community.<br />
Over the years, the NSYMCA weathered good times and bad.<br />
Through the hard work and dedication of its leadership, the Y rallied<br />
from setbacks to renovate its facility top to bottom and provide<br />
outstanding programs that are available to everyone. The Chamber<br />
recognized the Y as its Small Business of the Year in 2013 in<br />
recognition of the Y’s dramatic transformation, consistent growth,<br />
and dedicated commitment to community service. In the years since<br />
that award, we continue to be impressed by the determination of the<br />
Y’s team to improve, innovate, and impact the entire community in<br />
positive ways.<br />
Today, many Chamber members are deeply involved in the YMCA as<br />
well. We share the same goal of making Northbrook and its neighbors<br />
the best possible places to live, work, and do business. We are looking<br />
forward to another 50 years of great partnership and progress!”<br />
