AKA Sorority Volunteers Inspire Members During Women’s History Month
We were delighted to once again welcome volunteers from the AKA Sorority, who generously shared their time and talents with our members. Some joined us in the Art Room to sketch portraits of influential women as part of our Women’s History Month activities. Others brought energy to the gym, playing basketball and leading obstacle courses.
The day concluded with a celebration of Women’s History Month and a heartfelt acknowledgment of the strong women and young ladies in our lives—both those we look up to and those right here within our Club.

Spring Adventures Begin at Slough Farm
Warm weather arrived just in time for our members to begin their offsite visits to Slough Farm. As part of a seven-week rotational program, members spend time exploring ceramics, culinary arts, and farm life. They learn about the animals, develop cooking skills, and participate in therapeutic sessions in the ceramics studio.
We are grateful for our ongoing partnership with Slough Farm—its patient, caring staff
truly make a difference.

Stronger Together:
Advocacy Day on Beacon Hill
March 12 was Massachusetts Boys & Girls Clubs Advocacy Day at the Statehouse! It was an inspiring day of connection and conversation for Club leaders from across the Commonwealth to champion the vital programs that support our youth.
Barbara-jean was thrilled to meet with our local legislators to discuss the impact of our work and the importance of continued investment in the next generation.
A huge thank you to Senator Cyr and Representative Moakley for their time, their partnership, and their unwavering commitment to the children and families of Martha’s Vineyard.

Montessori School
is Back in the Gym
As good Island neighbors, we enjoy sharing our gym with Vineyard Montessori for their physical education class. We at the Club are thrilled to be able to provide them with a safe, indoor environment on weekdays before our members arrive. Games are played, and the group gets its exercise in, even during these chilly months.

Middle School Night
We were excited to fire up the grill for this month’s Middle School Night! Members spent the evening hanging out in the gym, playing games in the Game Room, or relaxing in the backyard while enjoying hot dogs and burgers with friends.
Middle School Night is our way of welcoming all Island youth, and we can’t wait to see everyone again in April!
