The week is being kicked off with our 2nd Annual Kearney Cup Dodgeball Tournament on Sunday, April 15th.

If you have not registered your team, visit the event page here to register and get more information about the tournament.

Club Members will be doing arts & craft projects that illustrate the importance of our Club as well as writing poetry about the Club. The children will be making cards to family, friends, and staff who have made a difference in their lives while being a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs.

On Thursday, April 19th during Boys & Girls Clubs Week we will be having 2 very important events:

Teacher Appreciation Day from 3:30pm-5:30pm at the Delaware Ave Unit. We will be celebrating the many teachers who are or have impacted the lives of our Club members. Club members will be allowed to bring in their teachers to visit the Club and show them what they do when they come to the Club after school.

Go Tag, You’re It from 6:30pm-7:30pm at the Delaware Ave Unit Gym. We are trying to set a world record to see how many children can play tag at the same time around the country. This will be a fun and exciting event for Club members.

To wrap up Boys & Girls Clubs Week we will be celebrating Global Youth Service Day on Saturday April 21st.

Nedayah has been a Club member for the past 10 months. Although Nedayah has not been a Club kid for as long as many of our members, Nedayah has truly become part of our family. She frequently helps in the classrooms during Power Hour and will instantly help any counselor when a child needs a moment away from the group. Nedayah confidently addresses situations when others may throw their hands up and walk away. Nedayah has a way of making everyone around her feel comfortable, as if she has known them for her entire life. Nedayah is a very strong minded young lady. Her determination to be a role model in the Club and in the community is unparalleled to any other teen.

“My Strategy for beating out all the restaurants is encouraging people to visit 99 Restaurants so the staff and servers are forced to carry heavy trays thus compromising their ability to have any velocity on the ball. So please visit 99 Restaurants and give them my regards”, D.A. David Soares.
