Maple Syrup Day

I belonged to the Uptown Minneapolis Y for years. For me, it was a place to work out—nothing more, nothing less. When my wife and I moved to Duluth nine years ago, I joined the Downtown Duluth Y—again, simply to work out. Three years ago, my world was turned upside down when my wife died unexpectedly. Two years later, I had open-heart surgery. I began to feel a growing need for other people, if I was to have a full life in the time I have remaining. I found those people at the Y.

The Y community is remembering a special volunteer, Dave Rutford, whose dedication and generous spirit left a lasting mark on all of us—especially at YMCA Camp Miller.

Greetings from Camp Miller! We hope your fall has been amazing and that you are gearing up for the winter season. Not to worry- it will be summer before we know it and that means we will be gathering "Around the Campfire" in person at Camp Miller soon enough! Our hope with this newsletter is to keep you informed about camp happenings and staying connected with our Miller Family throughout the year. So build the fire, make the s'mores, and enjoy your time "Around the Campfire."
