On Wednesday, July 15, attorneys and staff from DTC toured the new YMCA community facility being built on Linden Street in Exeter. The construction is moving fast, and the full-sized gymnasium, locker rooms, exercise and wellness class rooms as well as charming “nooks” for congregating and relaxing (including one with a working fireplace!) are now clearly visible in the new building. Even on a rainy late afternoon, natural daylight streamed into the gym and other rooms via “solar tubes,” carrying the natural light indoors. Visitors commented on the broad windows that bring the green vistas of woods, lawns and trees into the building. DTC is proud to have made donations to the Southern District YMCA and pledged to continue to donate for several years towards this construction.
