ORLANDO, Fla. – (June 16, 2019) – The YMCA of Central Florida will showcase its newly renovated J. Douglas Williams YMCA Family Center during a ribbon-cutting ceremony and facility tour on June 19 at 11:30 a.m. Wayne M.

A front door canopy will also be completed in the fall.
“We're proud to serve more than 15,000 Lake Mary neighbors through the impactful programs and services offered at our J.
