Greetings, check out our August Newsletter!

Step Up! Program partners with UNO for unique activities! Club members were asked to create a poem using song lyrics, and all of the submissions were gathered into the video above! Last month, we highlighted our online V.O.I.C.E. programming. There has been hundreds of opportunities for online learning for our Club members through V.O.I.C.E . The examples featured here are in partnership with UNO Service Learning Students as part of the Clubs Step Up! program. The poem featured above is from North Club member, JaVaughn Davis.

74,885 Meals Served! Over the past few months, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands have continued to be a staple in Club members’ lives by providing free meals, essential technology, support and care!   In the final week of evening meals, the Clubs tallied 74,885 meals served during the COVID-19 Pandemic, with an average of 937 meals a day!   We want to thank our donors and friends for all their continual support and for making it possible to continue the efforts of the Clubs during this time!

Grillin' and Chillin' with Bryan Middle Club! On July 8th, Club members and their families were invited to meet outside the Bryan Middle Club to hangout, talk to staff members and enjoy grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and snacks!   Attendees played outdoor games and caught up with fellow Club members. Parents were happy to see their children reconnect with Club staff and friends.   Bryan Boys & Girls Club is grateful for the continued support of Mr. Henry Davis and the Greater Omaha Packing Company. Thank you for providing the burgers for the event!

Club members take home $330,000 in scholarships! Following the Virtual Scholarship Luncheon in June, 53 Club members were awarded $330,000 in scholarships.   Congrats again to all the deserving Scholarship Luncheon Recipients!

CLUB KID OF THE MONTH

Meet Kayloni! Bryan Middle Boys & Girls Clubs Member

About Kayloni: Kayloni is a 12 year old Henry Davis Bryan Middle Boys & Girls Club member who joined the Club on the first day in August 2019! Kayloni says her favorite part of the Boys & Girls Clubs is getting to hangout with the dedicated staff! When Kayloni isn't in the Clubs, she loves playing volleyball for the Bryan Middle School team.   Why Kayloni Is Our Featured Club Kid: "Kayloni is an all-star in programming" says Unit Director, Tony Gonzalez. She showed her leadership skills earlier this year in STEM programming when her FIRST LEGO League Robotics team, the BG Bots, excelled in qualifiers and were chosen to move on to the state competition!   "Do you look up to anyone in the Clubs?":  Kayloni looks up to the staff members and is thankful for their guidance during her time at the Clubs. "They teach me so much! They teach us how to be respectful and they make us laugh. I want to be like them some day.”   Thank you for being a role model, Kayloni!
