In Susan’s own words: I like to stay active and fit, and the YMCA gives me this opportunity. As a member for the past ten years, I enjoy working out at the YMCA’s facility and have made many new friends, most of whom I would not have had the opportunity to meet had I not joined the Y.
One of the first people I met was Keith Simpson, who inspired me to take my first cycling (spin) class and later insisted that I teach. I eventually became an IFTA certified spin instructor and recently became a certified POUND instructor.
After retiring from my 30-year role as Clerk of the General District Courts, I became the part-time Director of Development of the Alleghany Highlands YMCA. The Y is important to me and to this community, and I hope that I can contribute to the Y with my organizational skills for planning events and fundraising.
