Meriden and New Britain YMCAs Honor Local Military Veterans and Their Families

YMCA and veterans, military memberships

During November the Y is honoring the sacrifice of local veterans and their families by saying thank you and supporting their health and wellness.

Starting Veterans Day, Nov. 11, through Nov. 30, 2016 local veterans and their families will have complimentary access to the Meriden and New Britain YMCAs to work out and spend family time together.

And through a partnership between Y-USA and the Department of Defense, active military families (Title 10 Classification) will qualify for a pre-paid, six-month membership.
