Editor of The Herald Kings Mountain City Council received an update on the progress of the city’s recreation arrangement with the YMCA, and also heard a report of other special activities scheduled in town over the next several months at Tuesday night's monthly meeting at City Hall. YMCA Director David Ozmore said the Y has been in Kings Mountain for a little over a year and already has over 2,000 members. The Y also op- erates the city’s recreation pro- gram, with the city providing $300,000 a year toward the cost. Ozmore said the Y and City have “one of the country’s most unique” recreation partner- ships. I don’t know of any other ‘City where the recreation pro- * gram is provided through the YMCA.” In addition to providing the typical youth sports programs, Ozmore said the Y has also been able to offer a large num- ber of programs and special ac- tivities for older people. Senior Activities, health. fairs, etc., are held on a regular basis and the also offers additional youth .. activities such as child care, teen centers, and church youth . programs, he said. He said during the first year, the Y provided over $15,000 in scholarships to young people who couldn’t otherwise afford to participate. He said the KM YMCA membership rates are the lowest in North and South Carolina. “We're doing a lot for fami- lies, and what's so unique is that we provide a Christian at- mosphere,” he said. Ellis Noell, the city’s special events director, spoke of several activities that have been planned over the next several months. The city will take part in the 220th celebration of the Battle of Kings Mountain on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 2-5 p.m. at KM National Military Park.
