YMCA Waives Registration Fees for County Employees

You don’t need to break a sweat negotiating a membership deal at the gym. Save your energy for the workout and consider joining the YMCA. They are now waiving the $50 registration fee for County employees!

Plus, a Y membership now grants you access to all 17 San Diego County YMCA locations and entry to unlimited group exercise classes. This means you have the flexibility to hit the weights, hop onto a treadmill, swim a few laps or pop into a fitness class near your home or office.

Have a family? Getting healthy at The Y is for everyone! Include family members of all ages. Child Watch for ages 0-12 is included in all Family level memberships.  The Y also allows children ages 7 and over to work out in the fitness area with you!

For information on rates or for information on financial assistance, visit the YMCA online. To be eligible for the offer, you must be a current County employee. Visit your local Y with your employee ID to sign up.

Happy CECO Day!

In honor of its diamond anniversary, the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization received a proclamation from the County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday recognizing the nonprofit for its leadership, generosity and commitment to the community.

“For 60 years they have been lending a hand to diverse groups and communities in the San Diego region and people in need,” Supervisor Greg Cox said as he presented the proclamation to CECO board members. “CECO encourages support of local nonprofit programs and works to ensure that San Diego is a safe and livable community where all of its residents can thrive.”

Through County employee and retirees’ donations, CECO has distributed more than $6.7 million throughout the San Diego region to local non-profit organizations and employees in crisis since its founding in 1956.

Save the date for CECO’s next anniversary celebration: a lunchtime gathering Friday, Aug. 26 at the County Operations Center. There will be a special star-studded, all-employee band performance with tunes from the ‘50s, when CECO formed, food and other surprise festivities! More details to come. So stay tuned to InSite.
