Why the hell would you build a YMCA

[Liquid]

Liquid, you don't get it...... Martha's Vinyard reeks of OLD MONEY... like the Gold Coast on Long Island.
We're talking money the likes of the Rockefella's and Vanderbilts, not some dopey movie star money.
These people have no use for a YMCA other than some ulterior motive for charity.

I DO understand. I grew up in Boston and went to MV many summers. The new Y's ARE BEING funded and paid for by "old money". The one in Raleigh was completely funded by private "old money" donors. They either donate to make themselves feel better for helping the community or they want to see wings of the new buildings with their names on it. At the one in Raleigh the pool area, gym, and classrooms are all "dedicated" to the names of the rich donars that funded them.
