Julie GallantyGUEST
So we have each Y is a independent 501[c][3], so they're a charitable organization.

Julie GallantyGUEST
They have a CEO and a board of directors, and they develop a strategic plan, and they figure out, what does this community need? So the community needs of Newark would be, might be different than the community needs of the Hamilton Y or the, uh, Lakeland Hills Y or the Montclair Y.

Julie GallantyGUEST
So they really, um, try to think about their service area and then try to deliver programs that align with that.

Julie GallantyGUEST
So ultimately I think what the Y is really trying to do is to create a place where we connect communities together.

Julie GallantyGUEST
I think post-COVID people are really searching for a place where you can make connections, since we don't go to the store as much.

Julie GallantyGUEST
We, you know, get everything delivered, and you need a place where you can sort of meet other people and not be in your house all the time.
