exercise instructor Rhonda Ghoode, and program director Alisha Smith were just some of the staff Carper mentioned that make all that the“ Y” does possible.
“ I’ ve never woken up and thought, I don’ t want to go to my job,” Carper said.“ I honestly just enjoy my staff and I enjoy the people that walk through the door. And just knowing that we offer such a variety of things to the community, that’ s the beauty of this place to me.”
