       There has been a lot of activity at the Trinity Unit as the school year comes to an end! Our members visited rest homes in April, delivering Easter cards with artwork they created. We celebrated mothers in May, with an entertaining picnic with our moms!  The picnic had something fun for everyone: the Chi-Chi slide, games, and photos with the moms & their children.
      Now it's time to finish out the school year with a few of our Club dads. I know you guys didn’t think we would forget to hang with the coolest fathers around. The Trinity Unit is hosting a "Kickin' It with my DAD" social. It will be an evening of games, music, and laughs for Club kids & their dads (or uncles, coaches, etc.) at the Club!
      If you missed us during the school year, sign up for summer camp now! Do not let your kids miss these unforgettable experiences.

Meet Miss D

Darilyn Ruotolo has served as our Mentor Program Coordinator for over a year now. Recently, her role has expanded as she's been promoted to our Office & Volunteer Resources Manager.
She loves working with the kids. Darilyn's favorite part of her day is when she is greeted as "Miss D", when our Club kids arrive. She looks forward to expanding our volunteer pool across all 3 units. When she's not making an impact on our young people, Darilyn loves hiking. One of her favorite trails is at Morrow Mountain State Park.
Sponsor A Child, Change a Life!
Many of our Club families need financial assistance to cover the cost of Club membership. YOUR gift of $1,179.97 (or $98/month) sponsors ONE child for the entire school year and summer. With this help, members gain access to:
  • Academic Support - At the Club, kids receive homework help and tutoring to put them on the path to excellence in the classroom and beyond!
  • Healthy Meals - Oftentimes, the meals kids receive at the Club - dinner during the school year; breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the summer - are the only hot meals they have all day.
  • Encouragement, Sense of Purpose - Club kids receive the nurturing and support that so many desperately need. Our trained youth development professionals offer educational assistance, formative guidance, and leadership skills necessary for kids to reach their full potential as productive, caring members of our community.

You can help change a life by Sponsoring A Child! Monthly options are available, too!

Thanks to your generous support, we have 200 Club members sponsored!
What's Happening at The Club
We recently held a Cinco De Mayo-inspired Board and Staff Social! It was a great opportunity for our Board and Staff members to interact.
 
Picnic with Mom on Friday evening! Some outdoor fun, indoor games, music, dancing, photos, and of course, a picnic. A special memory was shared by all.

The jump rope challenge is complete! 17 young people from the Trinity Unit and 16 kids from our Logan-Blake Unit accomplished at least one of 9 goals.
Congratulations to Emma, Jani, Amiya, Maciahya, A'Narriyah, Aliyah, and Namyiah for completing all 9 goals!
Mom and Me paint night at the Baxter Teen Center. Some nice works of art and time well spent.

Thanks to Our Community!
Special thanks to David and Kathy Conner who hosted a Ray Wylie Hubbard concert that raised over $31,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills.
