GOING GREEN

Y News Becomes "Y E-News"

Sign up with your email to receive the innovative Y E-News! Thanks to revolutionary technology from via680, you can receive a VING with our newsletter in your email box. The Y News will still have all of the great member news, program updates, health tips and history tidbits, but with VING it will also feature videos, full color photos and interactive surveys. And, because VING uses the Cloud, there is nothing to download or install and no time lost waiting.

We don't want you to miss one issue, so please click on Y News SIGN-UP in the Quick Links box on the left. And then look forward to our first multi-media Y E-News to show up in your inbox. It feels good to belong!
