The last week in March was Boys & Girls Club Week- a week dedicated to inviting the community to tour their local Boys & Girls Club and learn about how the Club supports youth and the community. Since the Club opened in October of last year, members have been participating in positive, fun, structured programs to help them with homework, allow them new opportunities, and ensure a safe place to go after school. All programs offered at the Club focus on three primary outcome areas to guide members to a great future: Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character & Citizenship.
During Boys & Girls Club week, members shared when their "Great Future" started. Many members shared experiences about when their family received a new pet, when they met their best friend or when they went to the Boys & Girls Club for the first time. Others included areas of academic success such as winning the spelling bee or earning an "A" on a school project. Members were excited to share a turning point in their life and it allowed them to reflect on what is important in their lives!

| Thank You Culver's! | |
Gary, Owner of Culver's in Menomonie, stopped by the Club to surprise members with a cool treat! Members were delighted not only with the custard, but also with Gary's company. Gary explained why better beef makes a better burger at Culver's, as well as what the difference is between ice cream and custard. Listening to Gary talk about owning the business sparked great conversation between members about business ownership and keeping business local. Thank you Gary and Culver's for giving this opportunity to the members at the Boys & Girls Club in Menomonie!
