Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County

<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; After 65 years, the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Snohomish County is going strong.&nbsp; We&#8217;re serving nearly 15,000 youth in 17 Clubs.&nbsp; Our formula is simple but effective and hasn&#8217;t changed over time.&nbsp; We provide safe places, fun activities, and positive adult role models to achieve the outcomes we want for the youth who attend.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; This growth has happened because of good community partners.&nbsp; Cities, school districts, apartment owners, other non-profit organizations, and The Tulalip Tribes have given us the opportunity to work with their young people.&nbsp; We&#8217;ve accepted this responsibility which has allowed us to grow into every corner of Snohomish County, and more recently into Island and Kitsap Counties.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Going forward, you will be hearing and reading about our Formula for Impact.&nbsp; The essential elements of our Clubs will be the same but we will be emphasizing three strategic outcomes of academic success, good character &amp; citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. Our goal to achieve these outcomes is to have every Club member attend more frequently. </div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our work cannot be accomplished without a team of committed professional staff, volunteers who work with the youth, and our Board of Directors.&nbsp; Thank you to each of them who work hard in their respective duties.</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $12 million capital campaign to build new Clubs in Mukilteo, Coupeville, and Kingston, to increase the size of the Arlington Club, and for renovations of our existing Clubs.&nbsp; Thank you to the volunteer cabinet members who are helping raise these needed funds.</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you to the names you see on our donor list.&nbsp; Their support has been instrumental in helping keep Club doors open during these challenging economic times.&nbsp; </div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We encourage you to visit a Club to kick the tires and see your contributions at work.&nbsp; Our story is best told when you see the Clubs in action and kids having fun.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Bill Tsoukalas<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
