Paul Lumia of Dallas has been on the Y’s board of directors for five years. He is a leadership di- vision co-chair on the campaign and strongly be- lieves the Y is an important and integral part of the community. "I {ecl. the Y contributes so much to the community.

When the YMCA was built in the early 1930's, it was often used “We thought the building was such a gem downtown, why not renovate it for more room.” . Paul Lumia YMCA campaign co- -chair as a boarding house for business- men and travelers. Three of the building's six floors are men’s dor- mitories that are no longer in use. “Today the need for the boarding rooms is gone. Now we have three floors- of rooms that need to be put back into use,” said Lumia. The Y serves 15,000 people annually and will be able to serve an additional 9,000 once the reno- vations are completed. Joseph and Pat Persico of Shav- ertown also use the Y regularly and know how beneficial it is to not only Wilkes-Barre, but the surrounding communities too. “The Y offers a lot of programs PAT PERSICO that are not available in the Back Mountain,” said Mrs. Persico. “Both of our children went to pre- school there and currently attend camp, swim lessons and other sporting programs.” Mrs. Persico said the Y serves a great cross-section of the com- munity. “The renovations will enable people with disabilities to use the Y,” she said. Mrs. Persico said the endow- ment fund will keep the Y “self- sustaining and a vital downtown building.” Mr. Persico is leadership divi- sion co-chair and Mrs. Persico is a special division co-chair on the campaign. Jim Thomas, YMCA executive director, said the Y is very fortu- nate to have a group of such dedi- cated people on its side. “We feel the cabinet is a nice cross section that can make the project work,” said Tho- mas. Other Back Mountain resi- dents involved in the capital cam- paign are, George G. Conyngham, Ronald D. Ertley, Jack Smith, Ri-. chard Maslow, Durelle Scott and Wallace Stettler.
