“Mr. Speaker, I rise with immense joy and gratitude to celebrate the upcoming grand opening of the new Wayman Palmer YMCA in Toledo, Ohio. The event dedication will take place on May 12. This new facility is more than a building; it is a beacon for enjoyment, a hub for our community, and a promise to our children, families, and neighbors that community life thrives in the heart of Toledo. For decades, the Wayman Palmer YMCA has been a pillar of the Warren Sherman neighborhood. With this new state-of-the-art facility, Federal funds attracted local funds, and I thank Mayor Kapszukiewicz for joining in this great effort. The YMCA will reaffirm our commitment to the health, wellness, and future of the heart of our community. This center will not only offer world-class fitness and recreation; it will also provide vital programs for youth development, mentorship, and enrichment. Every child who walks through those doors knows they are welcome. I congratulate the city of Toledo and feel greatly honored to be able to join with all of the councilmembers and citizens for the upcoming groundbreaking. It will bring renewed hope with the dawn of spring, and I hope to be a party to planting new trees around the region and to celebrate the beginning of spring 2025. I congratulate all. ____________________”
