Salem YWCA to close
SALEM — The YWCA of Salem became the latest victim of the economy, with Executive Director Susan Hays announcing Friday the nearly 53-year-old organization will close its office by Dec. 31 and dissolve by May 2011. “The board has been wrestling with this decision for a good while now,” Hays said when contacted by phone. On a bright note, though, she said the Kin & Kids program which catered to grandparents and relatives serving as parents to grandchilden or a relative’s children will remain intact by moving to the Family Recovery Center in Lisbon. Kin & Kids program director Mary Caye Bixler will remain in her position, but as an employee of FRC. The program’s grant from the Brookdale Foundation which continues through April 2011 will follow the program. The YWCA will assist with funding through 2010 and funds from the United Way will continue in 2010 and be used for Kin & Kids.
