“I have been blessed to call the YMCA of Grays Harbor my home for the last 12 years. Over these years I’ve witnessed firsthand the positive impact of the YMCA on the local community; personally I’ve watched my children learn to swim, gain life lessons at Camp Bishop and obtain social skills in Preschool, just to name a few,” said Franzine Potts, CEO. “I’m humbled and excited to continue the legacy laid before me by the dedicated volunteers, donors and staff. The YMCA has changed my life, and I look forward to this opportunity to give back to our community.”
