During that time the Navarre YMCA has grown to the point that it has outgrown its facility and an expansion is planned for 2016. “We hate to see her leave. She has done an amazing job. I hope she reconsiders and I’m working toward that end,” said Maurie Reynolds, chairman of the Pullum Family YMCA Board of Directors. Reynolds also emphasized that the expansion of the Navarre YMCA needed to move forward regardless.
