May

A Fawn Farewell and New Beginning

As of Saturday May 5th our fearless leader and Branch Manager Malik Moore will be leaving us to take on a position as the Branch Director of the Hillard/Ray Patch YMCA, an extension of the Greater Columbus YMCA Association. While Malik will be dearly missed the Downtown YMCA is in the process of looking for a new Branch Manager to lead us into the future. As of May 6th Laura Floyd will be filling in as the interim Branch Manager in Malik's absence. We wish the best of luck to Malik and his new YMCA and hope that his passion carries on to Columbus. Laura Floyd can be reached at 216-263-6805 or by email at lfloyd@clevelandymca.org.
