- Volunteers will be "Big Brothers/Sisters for a Day" and be matched 1 on 1 with children on our waiting list to spend 2-3 hours on a fun outing. This is a great time for everyone and children get to be around an adult role model while they are waiting to be matched with their real Bigs. Many times some of the volunteers who participate in a "Big for a Day" decide to sign up to be a Big Bro/Sis. Past outings have been to Incredible Pizza, Bowling, Celebration Station. The activity needs to be inside and your group can arrange the details or we can make the plans. Most of the time we can get a reduced rate. All the volunteer has to do is have a heart and interact with the child throughout the activity. BBBS will do the pairing process and staff will be present during the activity. Please call cell or email if you have any questions. Thank you,

- Before the 2007 Ice Storm, the Midwest City YMCA had five, fifteen year old bradford pear trees gracing the front lawn and providing shade for neighbors, children and families. The thick ice that covered the trees peeled them like bananas and, sadly, all of them had to be cut down. In addition, a twenty plus year old holly tree met the same fate. The mockingbird family who nested in the holly year after year were left this spring with no home. The trees are gone, but their roots remain. We'd like some help to dig up some of the roots and replace the trees with a variety that is hardier for Oklahoma wind and winters. Also another holly for the mockingbird family.

- Thankfully our Field of Dreams project was selected by Tena Slaughter and her hard-working team from O G & E last year. Their group helped us to restore an abandoned ballfield to it's former glory. Because of their efforts, families are now able to watch their children play soccer, flag football and, of course, baseball. An area of disuse now has new vitality and allows the YMCA to serve more families in our community. Sports require equipment and equipment needs storage. In addition to allowing the YMCA the use of the ballpark, the City of Del City has also allowed the use of a storage shed on the property. We would like to add shelving so that the equipment can be organized, protected and remain safe for children to use. Field of Dreams II would involve building and hanging shelves in the storage building.
