Local YMCA Hosts Annual Meeting

Mack Major

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Family YMCA hosted their annual meeting virtually Thursday afternoon to update the community on their impact during the COVID-19 pandemic and hand out awards.

Previous Chief Volunteer Officer Mack Major told board members revenue was down during the 2020 fiscal year.

Major added those grants helped the YMCA expand their feeding program and get the correct certification to conduct daycare services.

The year’s expenses were down about 16-percent, but the net-revenue was up from 2019 due to the various grants and PPP funding.

Senior Program Director Joe Wilson handed out annual awards with the ‘Coach of the Year’ award going to Kristin Hernandez.

The ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award was presented to Mike Sowell.

Dawson McDonald was named ‘Role Model of the Year,’ and the ‘Gary H. Latham Award’ was presented to Darrell Gustafson.

During the meeting, Major named Marvin “BJ” Barnes, Jr., the 2021 Chief Volunteer Officer.

The board of directors also approved three-year terms for new board members Nancy Askew, Vulenzo Blount, Tyler Jones, and Betsy Shelton.
