Inside Story of Athens Y M C A Building Financed
The Athens Y M C A opened its new building in fall 1916 after a 20 000 loan from Judge John R White and heavy subscription shortfalls. Directors raised funds through a plan to pay cash for furnishings, aided by a Director who urged faith and a vision, and by early war related fundraising. By late 1917 the building was fully equipped, helping Athens rally for war efforts while keeping youth programs active. A 16 000 campaign begins April 8 1919 to cover ongoing expenses and remaining debt.
