Dear Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission Members,
My name is Brian Hubbard and I am the Director of Development for the YMCA of
Metropolitan Minneapolis, assigned to the Carver County area. I have been meeting with
community leaders throughout the area to determine what, if any, part the YMCA can be
in this community. My initial meetings have been very encouraging and it seems to me
that the YMCA could fill an important niche here.
I look forward to meeting with you on June 27th to talk about the possibilities. The
YMCA is committed to moving forward in this endeavor of creating an increased YMCA
presence only if the community and it's leaders are interested in this. I think there are
possibilities for a partnership between the YMCA and the City of Chanhassen in terms of
collaborative programming, identifying service gaps that the YMCA may be able to fill,
or looking at joint program facilities. I am excited about where our discussions might
take us and am looking forward to working with you to continue to serve the needs of
people.
This year the YMCA is celebrating 150 years of working with and in communities to
change lives and make a difference in people. The YMCA has a rich history of being a
community leader and is one of the foundations of success across the country. From
youth sports, camping and swimming lessons to health enhancement and programming
for seniors, the YMCA is an excellent resource in the over 2,500 communities nationwide
it is a part of. The YMCA is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families and
strong communities while promoting the core values of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility in a~l programs.
Again, I look forward to a productive and visionary discussion next week. Enclosed with
this letter is some generic information about the YMCA to give you a better
understanding of the depth of the organization. If you have any questions or concerns
prior to that, please feel free to contact me at 952-582-8245. Thank you for your time
and interest.
Respectfully,
Brian V. Hubbard
Director of Development
YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis
