Throughout the month of May, the men and women of the Westport Weston Family YMCA’s Aqua Fit classes are joining with Westport veterans’ groups, to raise awareness and help. On Sunday, May 1st, the Aqua Fit class hosted a coffee hour and informational table in the Y lobby staffed by members of VFW Joseph Clinton Post 399, and the VFW Auxiliary.
Next Saturday (May 7, 10 a.m.), the Staples high School girls golf team — coached by beloved Aqua Fit instructor Patty Kondub — will tidy up and pay respect at veterans’ graves in Assumption Cemetery on Greens Farms Road. Everyone is welcome to help.
On Saturday, May 21 (4:30 to 5:30 p.m.), the public is invited to join a “drop-in” Aqua Fit class. Get healthy, see why members are so loyal — and the $20 fee for the drop-in class will benefit the VFW Auxiliary. All month long, the Aqua Fit program is sponsoring a donation box, with “Wish List,” in the Y lobby.

Once again, we thank everyone for their contribution and support of this important community program by helping us exceed our drive donation goals with 68 registered donors.
