Warminster YMCA Celebrates 1-Year Merger Anniversary

WARMINSTER, PA —The YMCA Of Bucks and Hunterdon (NJ) Counties marks its one-year merger anniversary Friday with celebrations at all its branches and the grand opening of Metro Esports at the township's branch.

The celebration also marks the anniversary of the reopening of the Fairless Hills branch after its renovation, said Amanda Wappes, chief marketing officer of the YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties.

The branches will have family activities, swimming (where applicable), camp staff meets and greets, tours, and information on membership. Light refreshments will also be available. The YMCA is also offering a $1 fee to join in honor of the anniversary for the rest of this month.

The Warminster YMCA branch at 624 York Rd. will hold the grand opening of its Metro Esports lounge from 5-7:30 p.m. Friday. See the list of Friday's festivities at the Warminster branch below.

The two merged last April to create one YMCA across the two counties, allowing members to use all seven member branches and member pricing on programs at all locations.
