All ages served by local YMCA "This YMCA is a family YMCA,” said Sue Bowser, creative class coordinator for the YMCA, “we have activities for from six months up.” Although, the initials, YMCA stand for Young Men’s Christian Association, Bowser emphasized that Lane County has a family oriented YMCA rather than one specializing in serving young men. There are campus branches of the YMCA and the YWCA (Young Womens Christian Association) which are separate branches of the national organization, but which cooperate with the Lane County YMCA chapter, bowser said. According to Lane YMCA literature, this county branch hopes to “provide for the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual development of the individual, the group, the family and the community with programs designed to meet the expressed needs of the people within the community; and programs supplemental to existing community programs; programs of an experimental nature to meet potential community problems.” “As far as programs, we want to have an emphasis on families, with pre-school and grade school programs as our best.” Bowser said. Kindergym and Swim are offered for ages two years to five, and a special mother and child swim c ourse for mothers with children between six months and two years of age is offered. A membership in the YMCA covers use of its facilities and participation in most of the special activities and classes which the YMCA sponsors. Membership fees vary with age and may be paid either | in a lump sum or in installments. A family membership costs $115 if the parents are 30-years old and under, $161 if the parents are 31-years of age or older and $210 for a Business Men’s Division family membership, which covers use of special facilities and a few other added benefits. The youth annual membership fee is $28. with the men’s membership fee set at $40 for men between the ages of 19 and 24, $51 for men between the ages of 25 and 30 and $80 for ages 31 and over. The women’s membership fee is $40 for ages 19 to 24. $51 for ages 25 to 30 and $69 for ages 31 and over. If the membership fee is paid on the installment plan the annual fee is about $5 more.
