for the AYR-YMCAlumni Reunion Cruise 2017! What a wonderful experience this is going to be… an incredible ship with lots of “old” friends (and making new ones), and even a number of current Y staff enjoying the fellowship and benefits of AYR.
Our planning goal was that all cruise decisions must be made with the primary purpose of making it easier and less confusing for you to register, travel, and enjoy the event. At the conclusion of the cruise we hope that you will agree that we have met or even surpassed our goal.
We called this the AYR-YMCAlumni Reunion Cruise because we wanted to project an image of having graduated to a new and exciting stage in one’s life, not retiring from the Y connection, and continuing to support the Mission. So have a great time … see you on the ship!
