On behalf of the Board I would like to thank all of the supporters, fundraisers, staff, directors and friends of the Club that are such a necessary part of our mission of providing life impacting programs for both children and adults. The past year saw plenty of challenges, highlights, departures, additions and improvements, but most of all it was another year of making a difference in the day to day life of so many of our friends and neighbors. By virtue of a combination of income sources, including fundraising and charitable donations, we were again able to meet our financial obligations and balance our budget. The Club continued to operate all core programs at or near capacity, while still continuing the many event specific community programs that have become synonymous with the Boys and Girls Club. I can report the Club also was recognized by its peers at the Annual National Conference by receiving a prestigious award in the marketing and communications category for the implementation of our recent marketing and branding campaign. The Club also saw the completion of the renovated splash pad made possible by a fundraising campaign sponsored by Balise Motor Sales. We also had our most successful Fall Fest and Auction thanks to the efforts of so many volunteers, supporters and our staff. All of the Club success over the last year would not have been possible without the steady leadership of our CEO and President Jenn Aldworth and her management team. The Board sincerely appreciates all of the hard work and dedication received from the entire Club staff. While we did say good bye to some longtime friends who we thank for their years of service we look forward to working with the very talented team we now have in place. The Board also welcomed the addition of new Board members Darlene Mark and Diana Roy who immediately made a significant contribution to the work of the Board. I would also like to thank our executive team and the rest of the Board members. The year could not have been a success without the very capable assistance of our executive team of Carolyn Muzzi and Mark Germain, and our incoming Board President Phil Goncalves, along with the rest of the Board Members. Finally, I would especially like to thank our donors who provide the financial support that allows us to continue our mission. From the many small dollar donors to our corporate sponsors we can’t say thank you enough. We count on all of these supporters to keep us going and growing and without them we would be unable to offer the resources and opportunities the Club provides to our children, seniors and all of the members of our community. Sincer ely, Board President 3 PRESIDENT & CEO’s MESSAGE Building A Lifetime of Character Boys & Girls Clubs of America has a rich tradition of developing good character in youth. More than just a place to drop off one’s children, the Club is a nurturing place where children can thrive and grow into productive, caring, responsible citizens. Growing up often means needing to step out of your comfort zone. Every day, staff work with kids to achieve their goals; whether by helping them conquer their fear of reading aloud in school, mastering a new swim stroke, or learning ways to combat peer pressure. Through social, athletic, and academic activities, each day I see kids developing their capacity for compassion and trust. Because of their engagement at the Club, I see children feeling connected to not only their peers, but to their teachers, families, and the greater community. By learning about citizenship and making contributions at the Club, young people develop pride in their community and understand the importance of civic responsibility. Of course, character-building doesn’t end in childhood. As adults, we regularly encounter situations that test our patience, fortitude, and strength. As adults, it gets harder to challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones. Seeing the kids each day working with staff to achieve their goals, seeing the members who use the Club’s facilities to maintain their strength and independence, reminds me how important it is to open myself to trying new things. At a recent staff retreat, I challenged myself to try the Club’s new ropes course! I was not as quick nor as graceful as some of our younger staff members, that’s for sure, but I participated and did my best; feeling encouraged by my co-workers the whole way through. Having leaders emulate these qualities to the next generation of kids is so important. I am proud to work with staff who are such excellent role models for our kids. Building character doesn’t come easily. It comes from challenging oneself and seeing the opportunity to grow in every situation. It comes from inspiring youth to be engaged, while recognizing their contributions. By striving to better ourselves each day, challenge ourselves to be kinder, more patient with ourselves, to take better care of our bodies, hearts, and minds, that is how the Club is shaping the next generation of leaders and citizens. Great futures truly do start here. Thank you for participating in our vision! Sincerely, Jennifer Aldworth President & CEO 4 2017 YOUTH OF THE YEAR Brooke is a senior at Ludlow High School and has been a member of the Club since 2006. Over the years, Brooke has participated in the Club’s Sea Lions swim team and has attended many of the Club’s community events like the Rag Shag parades and Father-Daughter dances. Brooke currently works as a lifeguard and swim instructor at the Club, where she has an excellent rapport with people of all ages, from young children to senior citizens. She also volunteers as a race timer for the Club’s Fun Ways to Run program. She is kind, hard-working, and believes in changing the world one kind Brooke Chisholm receives her gesture at a time. award with MA State Representative Thomas Petrolati. Brooke is an exceptional role model on many fronts. Academically, she has taken the initiative to enroll in more challenging classes and works hard to maintain excellent grades. As a member of Ludlow High School’s swim, cross country, softball, and track and field teams, Brooke has demonstrated her leadership abilities by personally motivating her teammates and is the Captain of both her swim and cross country teams.

She is an active volunteer in the Student Ambassador Program at Baystate Medical Center and participates in the Teen Mini Medical School there. “The best part of working at the Club is being able to help others grow up in a safe and fun environment. Without being a member of the Club, I wouldn't have gained all of the important life skills you need in life; leadership, teamwork, social skills, and loyalty towards something that means so much to me.” – Brooke Chisholm 5 Board of Directors Professional Staff Anthony Forzano Jennifer Aldworth, President & CEO Todd Gazda Brielle Engelbrecht, Aquatic Director Mark Germain Barbara Glanville, Preschool Director Phil Goncalves Sarah Goodwin, Unit Director Atty.
