The Palisades-Malibu YMCA will holding a fundraiser on Saturday, January 29, at the American Legion Hall with a silent auction/comedy dinner to help raise funds to finish ongoing renovations to the entire facility and the Temescal Canyon pool. Among those scheduled to attend are celebrity comedian Steve Mazan, Los Angeles Lakers center Vlade Divac and Olympic and world boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard. Tickets are $75. Renovations to the YMCA have already begun and include remodeling the men’s and women’s locker rooms at Temescal Pool, which includes adding heating units and re-surfacing the pool deck and locker rooms; installing new mats in the fitness gym; heating and air units in the YMCA facility; adding windows in the front of the building to improve visibility and natural light; replacing old and out-dated gym equipment; and painting the exterior of the building. The YMCA will hold an Open House on Saturday, Feb. 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to show the new improvements to the gym. The Y’s 2005 Annual Support Campaign in February will fund the Financial Assistance program that provides scholarship opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy the member services and programs offered at the YMCA. By giving much-needed financial assistance, the YMCA is able to help children and families develop a positive self image, reach their fullest potential, develop and maintain strong family relationships, achieve and maintain overall physical and mental well being and become involved citizens in the community.
