As we wrap up another exciting school year, I’m grateful for the many moments in May that showcased the strength of our Club community. From hosting our largest baseball tournament of the season, to celebrating our incredible team, the month was filled with many reasons to celebrate.
We joined our community in recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month, including participating in the annual Mental Health Walk, a reminder of the importance of being here: unplug, connect, thrive. Another exciting milestone was publicly unveiling the name of our new Judy Corbett Hutchens Workforce Center, bringing us one step closer to fully opening the doors to expanding opportunities for the young people of our coulee region.
Our focus now shifts to summer and giving kids a summer to remember. Summer at the Club is about more than keeping kids engaged; it’s about creating opportunities to learn, explore, build confidence, and make lasting memories. Thank you for being part of our mission and helping create great futures for the young people we serve. Together, we are creating experiences that will shape and inspire our members long after summer ends.
