Who are Y's Menettes?
Traditionally, a wife of a Y's Man was called a Y's Menette and they sometimes formed an auxiliary to the local Y's Men's Club. Today, Y's Menettes are women who have chosen to join a Y's Menettes' Club - and a Y's Menettes' Club today is no longer an auxiliary to a Y's Men's Club but has its own programme to support the local Y's Men's Club, YMCA and the community.
Y's Menettes share the warm fellowship of an international organisation, by:
- Participation;
- Enjoying social activities which often involve the whole family;
- Attending Regional, Area and International Conventions;
- Learning of our friends and fellow members in other countries through the "Sister Club programme".
How do Y's Menettes assist?
Y's Menettes clubs plan and carry out programmes and projects of their own in support of Y's Men's clubs, the YMCA and the community at local, District, Regional, Area and International levels.
Y's Menettes Prayer
God bless all Y's Menettes here,
And all whom we hold dear,
As now we pray.
And all whom we hold dear,
As now we pray.
To every Y's Menette far and near,
We pledge devotion most sincere;
New zeal our hearts imbue,
And consecrate ourselves anew.
We pledge devotion most sincere;
New zeal our hearts imbue,
And consecrate ourselves anew.
Amen
