Dear Editor:

Thank you for your coverage last week of the Boothbay Region YMCA's Annual Fund Drive Kickoff. I'm writing to spread the word about even more great stuff happening at the Y this summer. Did you know we are offering a fun and nutritious event this Thursday night, July 19 at 6 -- “Make a Salad in a Jar,” with ingredients fresh from the Boothbay Farmers Market that morning and jars provided!? Make and take home two large, healthy and portable meals. Call the Y at 633-2855 to sign up by Thursday morning.

Before the "Make a Salad in a Jar" you could take our new Ballet Barre class, which happens every Monday and Thursday at 5:15 p.m., making it a complete "Barre and Jar" night.

What else? In addition to the new Ballet Barre classes, there's a new Power Yoga “Hour of Power” class at 7 a.m. Thursday mornings. Or if you're looking for a running group to get in a good run around the Harbor, try our “Go for a Run” time on Tuesday evenings at 6:30.

Some of the many other available ongoing opportunities include Bootcamp, Zumba, Indoor Cycling, Personal Training and more. Don't forget the upcomin 25th annual Southport Rowgatta on Aug. 11.

I encourage everyone to check out the Y's website www.boothbayregionymca.org and please join in to whatever floats your boat!
