A fresh look at the YMCA
Margaret "Peggy" Berry has been involved in the Clay County YMCA since the late 1980s (first as a volunteer coach of a boys basketball team) and later as a member of the Board of Directors starting in 1990 and continuing through 2020. She has served as the board president on various occasions and was co-chairman of the Capital Campaign to build the current YMCA with Father Anthony Spicuzza (now deceased.)
"It is through this long association with the Y that I have learned what a vital part that the Y plays in our community," she stated. "I can't think of any other association or group that touches more lives in a positive way than the Y. I will be doing a series of articles for The Times in which I hope to demonstrate what this Y really does mean to our community and the county."
