Tri-Valley YMCA opens new Dublin headquarters Thursday
City grant, developer's aid helps Y with expanded facilities

by Jeb Bing

The Tri-Valley YMCA will officially open its new headquarters facility in Dublin with a ceremony from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday.

The Tri-Valley Y, which used to be located on First Street in Pleasanton, moved to larger quarters at 6693 Sierra Lane, Suite F, in Dublin.

At the event, "we will share information about the programs and services available and explain how businesses and individuals can get involved," said Kelly O'Lague Dulka, executive director. "Scheduled activities at this free public event include demonstrations, self-guided tours, informational displays, music and refreshments. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to win an Apple iPad 2 and a variety of other prizes."

The expansion of the YMCA was made possible by a grant from the city of Dublin and residential home developer Jordan Ranch Properties. This expansion now allows for programs and services to take place at two facilities (Dublin and Pleasanton) in the Tri-Valley.

The new facility includes a Family Wellness Center with an array of services ranging from recreational programs to mental health services to fitness and dance classes.

Throughout the year, Dulka said the YMCA will continue to develop programs, classes and services to meet the needs of the Tri-Valley community.
