Carthage, NY (October 30, 2024) The Carthage YMCA is thrilled to announce the completion of its long-anticipated renovations and warmly invites the community to join in a special celebration! The upgrades were made possible by the generous contributions of Carthage Savings and Loan and a State and Municipal (SAM) grant designated by Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush and administered through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY). These renovations underscore Carthage YMCA’s commitment to fostering wellness and community connections, and providing a vibrant, welcoming space for all.
We’re honored to welcome Dale Klock, President and CEO of Carthage Savings & Loan and YMCA Board Member, along with NY Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush, who designated the SAM grant for the Carthage YMCA, as they join us to celebrate this milestone.
