Here at the Y, we have a great team of staff members! We’d love for you to put a face to a name and get to know them a little better.
Each month, we will feature a different director from either our Pabst Farms or Watertown branch locations.
We hope you enjoy this new opportunity to meet our incredible Y Team!
This month, we’d like you to meet…
Health and Wellness Director at the YMCA at Pabst Farms, Emily Lopez.
