Men' . Forum want
, ,
Y name change.
The Highland Park Men's'
Forum ked to be pt on the agen­
da of the North Side YMCA
Board of Directors at their next
meeting.
In a letter to the YMCA Board
Chairperson Milton Harrison, the
president of the Men's Forum,
Harry Walker, requested that the
board of direct rename the
YMCA in Highland Park for the
city that gave it birth.
Unlike suburban YMCA's
which are named after their host
citie , inner city Y's are named
for streets, directions, founding
fathers, everything but the city in
which they are Jocaied, Walker
said. .
There are two Y' in Detroit '
for example, he noted. One is
called the "With,ertal Y" and the
other, the "Harper Y."
Hi,ghland Park YMCA is
named the Northside YMCA '
But go to Livonia, Redofr,
Farmington Hills, Garden City
and Dearborn and, all have the
local YMCA named for that city.
. Why? Walker $id the Men's
Forum wants to know. .
It is rumored that, members of
tbe boarc:\ wonder why .Highland
Parkers don'] use the Y facility.
. The Men's. Forum maintain
that there is pride' in ownership,
"give it our name and we will
embrace. it," Walker said.
