Three Mayors To Attend Southwest YMCA To Dedicate Building On Sunday
Southwest YMCA, formerly housed in rented quarters in Coral Gables and South Miami, will dedicate its first building at 3 p.m. Sunday. Permanent headquarters is a two-story structure on 10 undeveloped acres owned by Southwest "Y" at 4300 SW 58th Ave. The "Y" moved from its last rented site at 4040 Red Road to the new site about a month ago. Ready To Begin "We've been squaring things away during the last month," said Southwest "Y's" executive director John Barber, "and we're ready now to show off the new building." The service of dedication will be performed by Dr. Frank Alfred Mathes, president of the Greater Miami Ministerial Association and a Southwest YMCA Board member. Cutting the entrance ribbon to the new building will be the mayors of the three cities served by SW "Y". From Coral Gables will be Mayor John Montgomery. Representing South Miami and West Miami will be Mayors Paul U. Tevis and Edmund Cooper, respectively. Wynne To Speak Winston Wynne, former chairman of the Southwest YMCA Board under whose direction the property was purchased and initially developed, will be the event's principal speaker. Wynne, a county commissioner now, will tell what this facility means to Southwest Dade County. Others taking part in the ceremony will be Donald Robbins, chairman of the dedication committee; William R. Robbins, president of the Greater Miami YMCA; J. E. Merrifield, chairman of Southwest YMCA, and Rogers Eikenberry and Frank Kerdyk, property development committee members. Following the dedication ceremony will be a reception and tour of the new building. Included will be plans for proposed programs of the Southwest "Y". The 10 acres was purchased in 1956 and unused until this time. The land, because of excavations prior to the YMCA purchase, is lower than surrounding areas and unusable until fill is added. Fill has been added periodically since the YMCA purchase and the 10 acres has been fenced. Given To 'Y' The building was given to the "Y" as a one-story structure by Coral Gables Federal Savings and Loan Association last year and moved to the new site. There the building was made into a two-story structure with the addition of a basement. The building is on the east end of the 10 acres. Adjacent to the building, several softball diamonds are being readied for the "Y" summer recreation program. Long range plans call for a swimming pool on the west five acres of the site. The downstairs or basement floor of the building will be used as a game room. The upstairs floor will be used as a club meeting room seating some 40 people and a separate office room to hold 100 people. Entrance to the site is through SW 45th St.
