YMCA CEO and President Tom Beerntsen has a lot to be thankful for as the organization has seen a surge in membership the past four years. Beerntsen says numbers have never been better.

What is particularly impressive given the sizable existing member base is the pace of new enrollments at the facility. Beerntsen says the local Y has added 800 people to its ranks in just the past three years. For those in from out of town during the holidays, the Door County YMCA has a reciprocity agreement to accept members from clubs across the country.
