Initiative. For us, it is about the positive impact that these improvements will effect on the people we serve. In fact, our blueprint for the future is the Vision 2010 Strategic Plan. The historic investment in our facili- ties is one of the means by which we will achieve the Plan’s goals, all of which tie back to our mission to serve those most in need across our 41 community service area. The YMCA of Central Massachusetts is a vibrant, dynamic association comprised of thousands of diverse individuals. Our three Branches and many satellite operations continue to expand and refine a broad range of programs and initiatives — Activate America, after school programs, summer camp, character development programs to name a few — designed to enrich the lives of young people, particularly youth at risk. Our success in addressing community needs is dependent on the passionate, unified commitment of members, staff, volun- teers and mission partners. These pages highlight some of the ways we changed lives in 2007. Our sincere thanks are extended to those who work so well together to provide a special experience that can only be found at the YMCA.
