So Much to be Thankful For!

Even in these trying times, we have so many reasons to be thankful this year!

The Club's recent fall auction fundraiser was one of most successful in terms of people attending and money raised, but also in terms of the support we received from our parent community! Many of you helped to secure donations, sell tickets, donated your own services or talents, and volunteered for the event. I can't tell you how much it meant to our staff, Board of Directors, and supporters to see our parents engaged and supporting our fundraising efforts. You truly made a difference and we THANK YOU!

We welcome about 170 - 180 kids each day after school and another 30-40 most evening for theater rehearsals. We are THANKFUL for the opportunity to spend time with your kids; helping with their homework, helping them discover new talents, helping to keep them safe, helping them explore their creativity, learn teamwork, and so much more!

We are THANKFUL for a supportive Board of Directors who have spent countless hours volunteering to make the Club such a special place in our community. Their support is inspiring - and we thank them for their dedication to help kids BE GREAT!

I am especially THANKFUL for such a wonderful staff - for I know it's not the building that makes the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley special. It's the people in the building; people who care, who take time to get to know each child who comes through our doors, who wants each child to be successful, to belong to a community that cares about one thing: making anything and everything possible for them.

With THANKS,Susan Taylor, Executive Director/CPO
