On Friday April 27th the Boys & Girls Club of Calistoga put out the welcome mat and invited parents, family, friends and the community to its' annual Open House.

Members and Staff had prepared for weeks prior to the event, designing and making displays to highlight the Club's various programs; Education and Career, Character and Leadership, Health and Life Skills, Sports and Fitness and the Arts. Visitors to the Club were pleased and amazed to see what Members have experienced and accomplished over the 2011 - 2012 school year. Most pleased were the Club Members themselves who reveled in the chance to show off their Club, their friends and all the terrific activities they enjoy taking part in.

Torch Club Members, a service group for Members ages 11 - 13 created, stocked and ran a snack bar for the Open House. Torch Club Members also assisted staff with the various booths and had the opportunity to talk about the Club's Programs with many of the guests.

In addition to all the great info about the Club there were fun activities to engage in. The giant jumpy house was jumping and the best event of the evening was when Members challenged their parents to a tug o' war on Calistoga Elementary School's Berry Field. Parents gave it the old heave ho but the Club Members were unstoppable.

Over 200 hundred people attended the open house. The Boys & Girls Club of Calistoga gets a hugh high five, the night was a great success

and a good time was had by one and all.

The Torch Club, a small-group leadership and service club for boys and girls ages 11 to 13, is once again giving back to the community that gives so much to the Club.

St. Helena's Relay for Life, July 14th, 2012, will be the most recent recipient of the hard work and generous spirit of the Torch Club Members.

The Torch Club is involved in Relay in a number of ways. They are making beautiful paper bag luminaries for the after dark ceremony that honors those touched by cancer and remembers loved ones who lives were lost to this disease. Members will also visit the track at the St. Helena Primary School to cheer on Relay Team members. Most significantly Torch Club Members are actively fund raising with the goal of donating $300 to Relay for Life.

They are over a 1/3 of the way to reaching their goal and are very excited about the very good chance to not only reach but maybe even exceed their $300 goal. If you would like to help these dedicated Club Members meet and exceed their financial support to Relay for Life. Stop by the St. Helena Club, fish out that pocket change and fed the Relay for Life donation can on the reception desk counter.

All funds raised by the Club will remain local.
