Welcome to the Lincoln Area YMCA

Check out some of our 2009 Cow Chip Bingo pictures.

    This is the new website for the Lincoln Area YMCA.  We felt the need to upgrade our site to better serve the community and have more of an online presence.  Use the menu bars to the left and at the top to navigate through the site and find the information you are seeking.  Notice the ease and clarity of each page.  They were designed to mimic our seasonal Program Guides (which you can download from this page).  So, please browse the site as you wish and let us know what you think.  We know that you will enjoy it and hope you use it to its full ability.  Call or email us anytime with suggestions, comments or questions; contact us.

    We would like to give a special thanks to David Doolin of Infinity-X for building our new site.  There are so many little details that go into constructing a site like this and it took many hours to complete.  David was able to take our ideas and some of his too and mold it into the website that we really wanted.  This site is really only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what your new website could look like.  David offers website designing and building services through his business, Infinity-X, so if you would like to inquire about him creating a new website for your organization or business, please visit his website here or email him at ddoolin@infinity-x.net.
