A VERY Special Valentine
On Wednesday, February 6th both our members and residents of Our Island Home were treated to a very special afternoon. Club members had spent the earlier part of the week diligently creating handmade Valentine's in the Art Room with Art Coordinator, Sarah P. Each resident at Our Island Home received a personalized Valentine from one of our Club members. On Wednesday, a week before Valentine's Day, our members took a field trip to hand deliver each of their Valentine's. "It was great to see the reaction of the residents, as well as the enthusiasm from our Club members. Everyone had a really great time." said Club Outreach Coordinator, Joe M. Joe is looking forward to their next field trip to Our Island Home which is scheduled for Thursday, March 7th, where Club members will be partnered with residents and will play board and card games. We look forward to organizing many more great trips to OIH in the near future!

Help Us Welcome Ian!
 As of last week, Ian S. is the newest addition to our team! Ian, currently a senior at NHS, will be working at the Club part time, coming over after school. Ian started his journey with the Club when he was in just 6th grade, after moving to Nantucket from Jamaica. He immediately got involved with athletics, and other areas of the Club. He continued to be an active Club member, as a teen member and most recently as a volunteer. We are happy to have seen him grow into the responsible teen he is today, and are so proud to have him as a part of our team. Welcome Ian! |

We're looking forward to our annual trip to the Barnstable Youth Basketball Tournament which will take place the weekend of March 15th. We will again be sending two girls teams and two boys teams to represent the Club against other New England teams.
