Underneath your current status, check off whether or not you are a returning YMCA financial assistance recipient looking to renew or if you are requesting financial assistance. If it's your first time requesting financial assistance, specify what you're requesting financial assistance for. The membership or program will be adult membership, early childhood, family membership, after school, youth membership, or day camp. Include the cost of the membership or program as well, so that the Annual Campaign will know how much assistance you will need. Be as descriptive as possible when you communicate why you have needs for financial assistance. Mention the other forms of financial assistance you receive (SSI, food stamps, or Medicaid). Attach a copy of your most recent IRS 1040 federal tax return form as evidence to further support your need.
Summary: Obtain membership and full access to the facility by applying for assistance. Find a financial assistance application. Complete the financial assistance application.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stretch marks are most likely to appear when you gain or lose a significant amount of weight in a short time. Research shows that traditional treatments like applying cocoa butter, olive oil or gotu kola extract to your skin are largely ineffective, and that the best way to prevent stretch marks is to control your weight, especially during times of growth such as pregnancy and adolescence. During adolescence, it is normal for your body to grow rapidly. Follow a healthy diet and talk to your doctor about what kind of growth to expect. Stretch marks that appear during adolescence are likely to fade in time because the body is still developing. Weightlifting and bodybuilding to gain weight and/or increase muscle mass can also cause stretch marks if it happens too quickly. This is because the rapid growth in size causes the connective tissues of the skin to break. Try to make weight changes gradually, and talk to your trainer and/or doctor about the best practices to follow. A common places to develop stretch marks is under your arm from doing upper body exercises. If you want to lose weight, do so gradually by following a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Avoid "crash diets," and aim to lose no more than approximately half a kilogram (one pound) per week. The efforts required to lose weight rapidly can be unhealthy, whether they involve crash dieting, extreme exercise, or supplements and pills. In addition, sudden changes in weight can cause stretch marks, as your skin cannot accommodate such rapid shifts. Following a good exercise plan benefits your overall health and weight maintenance. In addition, it can improve your circulation and skin elasticity. All of this can help reduce your chances of developing stretch marks. You should get 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of exercise each week. Adults should do moderate intensity aerobic physical exercise. Strength training should be done as well on 2-3 days a week. Examples of moderate intensity exercise include the following: biking slowly, canoeing, gardening, walking briskly, and swimming activities.
Summary: Avoid rapid weight gain. Avoid rapid weight loss. Exercise regularly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Face the door so that the surfaces you intend to frost are facing up. A garage or backyard patio are ideal areas to frost glass. This will prevent inhalation of hazardous fumes and limit the amount of accidental spray. Any residue left on the window will appear in your frosting and will not look as professional. Even if there is no dirt or residue on your windows, you should still wipe it down to ensure that it is dry. Frosting will not adhere well to windows that are moist or oily. One tape edge should always be against the muntins (wooden frames separating panes). Since individual window panes are typically small on glass paneled doors, stay within the 1-inch margin of the painter's tape. Using too big of borders will allow more light in but will also reduce the surface area of the frosting. The only visible parts of the door should be the glass surfaces. Be sure to overlap tape strips and press firmly to avoid penetration of overspray to the wood. Though each can's label advises a specific time, the spray generally requires just a couple of minutes for preparation. Spray some frosting onto something clear, like a piece of plastic, before applying to your window. Make sure that the nozzle sprays steadily and evenly. This will ensure that your frosted glass is smooth and consistent. Hold the spray can about 1 foot (0.3m) from the surface so that the coat is light and even. Pay attention to the pressure you put on the nozzle, as this will affect how much and how quickly frosting is sprayed. Try to apply enough pressure to spray a steady stream, and do so in short bursts. This will help you apply a light coat that can be sprayed over with another light coat, if necessary. Let the first coat completely dry before spraying on a second coat. Apply each successive coat with the lightest possible amount, even if you have to spray on a third or fourth layer. Gradually applying frosting will limit areas with heavy paint and blemishes. Be sure that the frosting has dried first before removing the tape, as this could damage the outline. The drying process typically takes about 5 minutes, though you should allow an extra few minutes just to be certain. Also take into account how many layers you've applied and how heavy, as these factors will also affect drying time. If you are still uncertain about whether or not the paint has dried, leave it for half an hour in which the paint should most likely be dried by then. Avoid touching the frosted area to test its wetness. This will create a smudge in the frosting and will require more layers to repair it.
Summary:
Remove the door from its hinges and lay it on plastic bags. Clean the window surfaces with a cloth and window cleaner. Place painter's tape around the outside edges of each window pane. Cover the door frame and the individual muntins with tape. Shake the spray can for 1-2 minutes. Spray the glass with a slow, sweeping motion. Remove the tape from the door frame, muntins, and glass.
