Stories
President Mary introduced Carrie and Brandy who spoke about the summer field trips our club helped the Boys & Girls Club underwrite which among others included the Adrian Skatery, Mud Hens games and Hidden Lake Gardens which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. These trips, Brandy said, involved over 300 kids this summer and actually change kids’ behavior! Carrie said that a survey is conducted every year to determine what the kids really enjoyed the past year. Other stats from this survey were: 96% of members expect to achieve on-time grade progression; 93% of members expect to participate in post-secondary education as a result of what they learned at the Club; 83% of members are having FUN when they are at the Club; 60% of members said they felt safer at the Club than spending time anywhere else. They thanked our club for helping to make a difference in these people’s lives! A huge event for the Club is the Blue Jean Ball.
 
Following the presentation Carrie and Brandy were presented a check in the amount of $500. (From left to right: Vera Alvarez, Carrie Hartley and Brandy Bedola)

A team of 5 staff, she said, were very helpful in assisting Purity make her selections. They finished up at Meijer’s to get her the necessary personal items. Patty then took her to Devil’s Lake for the day. President Mary reminded members that the club has agreed to allocate a $100 stipend monthly while she is here. Purity has classes at SHU the same time as our meetings but will try hard to attend one of our meetings so everyone can meet her.
