    At first glance, the Eugene Y looks to be sitting pretty. Its new Don Stathos Campus on 24th Avenue in south Eugene is packed morning till night. The old indoor tennis/pickleball center two blocks away on Patterson Street is a beehive. The Eugene Family YMCA’s finances are strong. The $50 million Don Stathos building was constructed almost entirely with donations and a large state grant. The Y has only about $2 million in debt, incurred partly for demolishing the old Y on Patterson. Hardly. An i
