In the week since the opening of the new Dow Bay Area Family Y, thousands have passed through the doors of the 96,400-square-foot facility and hundreds of new memberships have been registered. But many more want a taste of the $13.2 million facility located near the corner of Washington Avenue and Tenth Street in downtown Bay City. Membership Director John Rooy says he has a stack of more than 200 applications for financial assistance to sort through in the coming days. “There’s a need for the Y to offer financial assistance in Bay City,” Rooy said. “We have seniors on fixed income, families with one adult employed, and we understand that some of them need a little help.”
