Brunswick YMCA Launches $ Campaign for Youth Programs
The C&O B and O Railroad YMCA reports over 400 Brunswick youngsters benefited last year from religious and recreational programs funded by YMCA memberships purchased by railroad employees and local citizens. The 1969 drive, chaired by K O H Minser, aims to expand youth services with broader support, while Brunswick area leaders emphasize the YMCA as a key force against juvenile delinquency. The Brunswick Y serves as a home away from home with programs for railroad workers and the community, and last year 215000 people used the Brunswick facility with more than 8000 participants. Membership runs 12 months for 5 dollars, as the system maintains 13 YMCAs across several states.
