The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County has occupied the new Club located at 1211 Lindenwood Ave., St. Charles, MO since June 9, 2014 and it is as beautiful and grand as ever. We knew it would be great to move to a new facility but it was hard to leave the old Club and lots of memories behind. Memories are shared daily with folks that developed a true bond of lasting friendship during the past 50 years in waht was often referred to as "the old barn".. We are currently serving third generations families which tells us, it is and was a home for many.
Every program offered at the Boys & Girls Clubs is desinged to help its members realize academic success, live a healthy lifestyle and be a good citizen. All programs revert back to these core issues, all the way from being the super athletic to completing your homework for school the next day.
The funds raised to build the new facility did not meet the obligation, therefore it is still necessary to continue to chip away at the debt. We look forward to the day when there is a loan paper burning. Isn't that what you do when you retire a debt? That day will happen as we remain focused on debt retirement and helping the children of the community, especially those who need us the most.
