Upper Main Line Y assistance
If you are looking for some fun things to do with your family but don't have a lot of money to spare - you might consider joining the Upper Main Line Y in Berwyn. If you apply to their Y Cares program and qualify for assistance, you can then join the Y and have access to all the pools, tennis courts, etc. etc. for just a little over $20/month. This is a great way for a family to have fun together for almost no cost.
Additionally - if you qualify for Y Cares assistance you can also become eligible for reduced rates on day care, preschool, and many of the summer camps. It is very important that you fill out your Y Cares application as soon as possible because the pool of money in that program will run out. You can print out a copy of the Y Cares application on the UMLY website at http://www.umly.org/UMLY/UMLY_YCARES.asp. Get that filled out and submitted right away!
