Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience as I got the recap of the town hall together! We had a great gathering on March 26, sharing ideas and stories and reaffirming what we know about how the YMCA's decision to close the Ransburg has played out. We had lots of good media presence at the event and coverage afterward. 

I just wanted to get you up to speed on what came out of the town hall. Attached you will find the notes, and below you will find the link to the recording, which Amazing Grace Christian Church very kindly created for us. 

Ransburg YMCA 2026 Town Hall Meeting

Our IMMEDIATE next step is to pull together the folks at the town hall who said they would like to be part of a committee to pursue solutions for the building. Aside from convincing the Y to reopen the Ransburg (unlikely, but not impossible), we want to be poised to advocate to keep the building as a community asset rather than sold off to a developer when it finally goes up for sale. As of right now, we've been told it will be staffed for a few weeks or months, just not open to the public. We haven't seen anything public about a sale, but we want to be ready when we do. If you were not at the town hall and you would be interested in joining the committee, please let me know! 

One chapter for our beloved Ransburg has closed, but the story isn't over yet. There were a lot of people at our town hall who care about what happens next and making sure the east side keeps a community center. We've got a lot to do, but luckily we've also got folks willing to do it. 

Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! 

Best,

Brittani
