Local Businesses Rally for New Exeter Area YMCA

Chemtan Company Inc., Proulx Oil & Propane, and Graham Tire & Auto recently joined the Founder’s Circle of the Community Investors League, each providing a donation of $10,000 in support of the Exeter Area YMCA, according to a press statement.

The Exeter Area YMCA, located at 56 Linden St., will offer a full gymnasium, indoor track, cardio/weight room and three group fitness studios, locker rooms, a teen center, on-site drop-in child care, a community room and three lounges.

The $5 million Exeter Area YMCA capital campaign is within 30 percent of its goal.

There is still a need for donations to support the completion of the project. Individuals and businesses interested in becoming part of the Community Investors League or any part of the permanent recognition wall in the YMCA are encouraged to contact Rhonda Bernstein, Capital Campaign Director, at Rhonda@sdymca.org or 603-642-3361 ext. 102.
