NEW! NEW! NEW!
BODYSTEP™ is the energizing step workout that makes you feel liberated and alive. Using a height-adjustable step and simple movements on, over and around the step you get huge motivation from sing-a-long music and approachable instructors. Cardio blocks push fat burning systems into high gear followed by muscle conditioning tracks that shape and tone your body. Like all the LES MILLS™ programs, a new BODYSTEP™ class is released every three months with new music and choreography.
BODYPUMP™ is the original barbell class that strengthens your entire body. This 60-minute workout challenges all your major muscle groups by using the best weight-room exercises like squats, presses, lifts and curls. Great music, awesome instructors and your choice of weight inspire you to get the results you came for – and fast! Like all the LES MILLS™ programs, a new BODYPUMP™ class is released every three months with new music and choreography.
If the Gettysburg School District is closed or is operating on a

Nearly New Sale
The great thing about YWCA fundraisers is they benefit our supporters as much as they benefit the organization. The YWCA then takes the benefits it reaps and filters them back into our community. It is an endless cycle that results in a stronger Adams County.
Our biannual Children’s Nearly New sale provides area families the opportunity to buy and sell good-quality, gently used, seasonal children’s clothing (infant – size 14), shoes (bagged in pairs), maternity clothes, baby equipment, furnishings, toys and MORE!
Make money on your gently-used children’s items and save yourself the trouble of selling them yourself! For a 45 percent commission, plus a small handling fee, the YWCA Nearly New Sale draws great crowds of shoppers, sells your items for you, and the proceeds benefit the entire community through YWCA programs and services!

encore breast cancer awareness 5K
There is a very good chance that you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer, if it has not been yourself.
When someone is suffering from an ailment we have not experienced, we often say to ourselves “I wish there was something I could do.” Likewise, the person suffering may feel no one understands what they are going through.
The Encore Breast Cancer Support Group brings together women who are dealing, or have dealt, with breast cancer and offers a variety of programming reflecting the needs of the members.
The Encore Breast Cancer Awareness 5K, scheduled for Oct. 13, 2012 at 8:30 a.m., brings together an entire community who support this great group of women and their cause in helping others with breast cancer diagnosis.
The race starts at the YWCA and runners will witness the beautiful fall foliage as they travel through Cumberland Township. Medals are presented to first and second place men and women in the following age groups: 13 and under, 14-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70 and older.
This fall event will travel through the beautiful Cumberland Township countryside. For those of you who do not live in Adams County, the fall is a beautiful time to visit Gettysburg and tour the Gettysburg National Military Park. The National Apple Harvest Festival – a great event for the entire family – is also occurring that weekend and is only a short drive from the YWCA. More information on that festival can be found at http://www.appleharvest.com/
Register now for our sixth annual run/walk on Oct. 13, 2012 at http://www.active.com/running/gettysburg-pa/encore-breast-cancer-awareness-5k-2012.

Race Against Racism
(Click course map to enlarge)
One of the dirtiest words has a few more than four letters.
Racism is something almost everyone experiences at some point in their life, and that is unacceptable.
The YWCA tagline – eliminating racism and empowering women – emphasizes our desire to teach everyone about the need for equality. Equality is more than tolerance. We should not just “tolerate” those who are different than us, we must learn to appreciate their differences and acknowledge how a diverse society makes a better society.
Our racial justice programs are free to the public, but the YWCA does incur some costs. To help offset these costs, and hopefully grow our educational opportunities, the YWCA Gettysburg & Adams County joins other YWs in Pennsylvania in hosting a Race Against Racism.
Proceeds from this 5-mile race, scheduled for April 28, 2012, benefit all of these programs. As you run through the beautiful Cumberland Township countryside, you can think how you are helping all of those who have experienced these terrible injustices.
First and second place awards are presented to men and women in the following age categories: Under 20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 and older.
For more information on the Race Against Racism, contact Alex J. Hayes at ahayes@ywcagettysburg.org or 717-334-9171, ext. 116.
