REMINDER! 

The Club will be closed on Friday, October 30th as we join the Nantucket Fire Department to put on our first annual Community Haunted House! This will replace the fire department's normal haunted house, which took place at the Fire Station in years past. From 5:00pm-8:00pm the Club will be open to the public for a Haunted House, games, and other activities throughout the Club. In order to do our best to accommodate everyone's tolerance for spoooookiness, from 5:00pm-6:00pm we will cater to younger children and those of us who don't want quite the same level of heebie-jeebies as others! But don't fret- for those of you who like a good scare, from 6:00pm-8:00pm we will be AMPING UP the fear factor!
 
Admission is FREE for everyone (you do NOT have to be a Club member to attend)!
Parents, please note- the Club will be closed for the evening. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please, no drop offs!

NBGC Travel Basketball 
For the first time ever, the Club is offering travel basketball for 5th and 6th graders. This year we will be a part of the Cape Cod Youth Basketball League, traveling off island weekly to play against Cape Cod teams. We are very excited to be able to offer a more extensive basketball program to the younger kids of Nantucket, giving them the chance to better prepare themselves for high school basketball.
Tryouts begin this evening at the Club and run through Thursday, October 22nd.
Please note, this is a travel team with additional expenses to the Club. Additional fees beyond the Club registration fee will apply. Financial assistance will be made available to those who need it.
We are still looking for coaches - if interested, please contact Joe or Jamie S.
