2012 Annual Report - The Boys and Girls Club of the Greater

2012
Annual Report
Welcome | Letter from executive director
Dear Friends of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley,
What a wonderful year it has been! Thanks to the generous support of foundations,
corporations and individuals like you, we are able to make a difference in the lives
of more than 3,000 children in 2012!
Among many highlights, 2012 was a year of growth and expansion for the Boys &
Girls Club. In just 12 short months, we went from a single Club in Eau Claire, to
an organization with three site locations across the Chippewa Valley. The Boys
& Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley serve the Mary Markquart Center
in Eau Claire, as well as the Jackson County Center in Black River Falls and the
Chippewa Falls Center. In January, we officially acquired the Boys & Girls Club of
Jackson County. The acquisition was a positive step to bring resources and staff
together to form a stronger Club in Jackson County. It has been a great year for the Jackson County Center,
with a newly remodeled Teen Room, enhanced health and fitness programming, and new fundraising efforts to
establish a deeper foundation of support for the Club.
After a very busy year of hard work and planning by the steering committee, the Chippewa Falls Center opened
its doors in December and became the third organization under the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa
Valley’s umbrella. The Club is located at 21 East Grand Avenue, downtown Chippewa Falls, in the Chippewa Falls
Museum of Industry and Technology. The Club currently is serving over 30 youth members after school each day
and is on track to grow substantially in membership this summer. If you haven’t been to the Club in Chippewa, I
invite you to stop by and take a tour!
The Mary Markquart Center in Eau Claire continues to grow as well. In 2012, we saw great improvements in
transportation for Club members, helping to nearly double the attendance each day. A brand new Technology
Center for both youth and teens was installed, and the Snack and Dinner Program was greatly enhanced with a
focus on fresh ingredients, helping members learn to live a healthy lifestyle.
Although our reach has greatly expanded this past year, the need does not stop there. Communities in Menomonie
and Altoona are also in the process of establishing a Boys & Girls Club as well, to help give youth in their
community a safe and productive place to learn and realize their full potential. We are looking forward to working
with them over the next few years and making all of our Boys & Girls Clubs stronger.
On behalf of the Club staff and board members, I would like to thank you for your support. Great Futures really
do Start Here at the Boys & Girls Club. With your help, it is possible!
Sincerely yours,
Sara Antonson
Executive Director

Chippewa Falls Center | 2012 HighlIghts
On December 26th, 2012, the Chippewa Falls Center officially
opened and became part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the
Greater Chippewa Valley family. After two years of planning
and deliberation by the steering committee, comprised of
business and community leaders of Chippewa Falls, the Club
settled into its new home. The new Boys & Girls Club is located
at 21 East Grand Avenue, in partnership with the Chippewa
Falls Museum of Industry and Technology.
Thanks to this partnership and shared space, the Club is able
to provide the youth of Chippewa Falls a safe place to go after
school and on school breaks. With a small annual fee of $10,
members participate in each of five core program areas:
Character & Leadership
Health & Life Skills
The Arts
Sports, Fitness & Recreation
Education & Career

“I support the Boys & Girls Club because it allows all youth
a chance to enrich and improve their lives. The youth of the
Chippewa Falls community will be able to come to the Club
every day, where caring and friendly staff and volunteers can
hear about their days, help them complete their homework
and inspire them to succeed.”
-Jerry Jacobson, Northwestern Bank and
Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors
“The Boys & Girls Club is about helping kids in Chippewa
Falls! We need to provide them with opportunities and to
mentor their ambitions. Their curiosity will do the rest.”
-Dave Mayer, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company
“I think the Boys & Girls Club is an excellent option for kids
and families in Chippewa. I can see a great benefit to having
the Club, especially the services that help prep teens for
college, including touring and campus visits.”
-Wendy Stelter, Chippewa Falls Police Chief

Yo uth of th e Y ear
Because of her service to the Club, academic achievements,
strong moral character, and life goals, Destiny was honored
as the 2012 Youth of the Year. Destiny was able to enjoy two
days in Madison and share her speech with other Youth of
the Year members across the state.
“I learned that there are a lot of people out there who are like
me and experience the life I do.”
-Destiny, 2012 Youth of the Year
Ju nior Staff
Thanks to a generous grant from the Ho-Chunk Nation, our
Junior Staff program offered new opportunities this year.
Members learned about leadership skills, how to set and
accomplish goals, and participated in activities such as the
Downtown Christmas Window Contest.
N e w T e en Lo u n g e
A new Teen Lounge was completed this year thanks to
generosity of Club donors. This new area is fully furnished
with new carpeting and furniture that provides a special space
for teen programming and free time. It is also equipped with
two new laptops for teens to complete their homework and
conduct research.

Tr ipl e Pl ay Prog r am
This year, the Jackson County Center was a proud recipient
of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America Triple Play grant. The
resources from this grant help to fund programs that improve
the health and life skills of Club members. By focusing on the
program’s key components - mind, body and soul - members
have learned everything from making healthy food choices
to starting daily fitness routines.
L eRoy Butl er P u nt, Pass and K ick Day
This year Club members participated in a competition of
football-drill-fun with Packer Legend LeRoy Butler. Butler
also attended the 12 th Annual Anniversary Dinner and served
as the event’s keynote speaker.
Fort McC oy Fi eld Tr ip
Members of the Jackson County Center had the opportunity to
visit the Fort McCoy Airport in 2012. While visiting, members
got to go inside a small plane, tour the aircraft hangars, go
up inside the radio tower, and even watched a helicopter land
while in the tower. Members were able to learn all about what
it’s like to be a pilot and work at an airport hangar.

Mary Markquart Center | 2012 HighlIghts
Snack and M eal Prog r am
Part of living a healthy lifestyle is eating healthy. The Snack
and Meal Program served 23,973 healthy meals and snacks in
2012, with an emphasis on fresh and healthy ingredients. By
serving fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, brown rice,
and homemade recipes, Club members are receiving healthy
and balanced meals.
H ealthy Habits Natio nal R ecip e C o nt est
This year the youth members and volunteer staff submitted a
recipe to the national “Cheap Eats Healthy Recipe Contest”
proposed by the Boys & Girls Club of America. By creating a
recipe that was healthy, affordable, and could serve a family of
four, the Club proudly won the contest!
Expand ed Tr ansp ortation S ervic es
Thanks to a new partnership with Student Transit, the Club was
able to greatly expand transportation services for the 2012-2013
school year. In addition to the transportation the Boys & Girls
Club van provides for four local schools, Student Transit is now
offering transportation from four more schools to the Club. This
new service has greatly increased the average daily attendance
of the after school program, allowing many more youth to
experience the Boys & Girls Club.

N e w T ec h nology C ent er
In order to provide the best learning environment for the Club
members, the Club Tech Technology Center was completely
revamped. Thanks to a generous grant from community partners,
we have installed 24 new computers and desk terminals, new
wiring, and new network capabilities.
Special thanks to: United Bank in partnership with the John T.
Vucurevich Foundation, the Best Buy Children’s Foundation, Eau
Claire Community Foundation, Walmart Foundation, Kwik Trip, and the
AnnMarie Foundation.
Yo uth of th e Y ear
To honor one of the Club’s most outstanding members, Aliana was
named the 2012 Youth of the Year for the Mary Markquart Center.
She was the perfect candidate, with her eagerness to help staff
and ability to be an excellent role model to other members. As
part of this experience, Aliana traveled to Madison to meet other
Youth of the Year members from across the state. She also had
the opportunity to visit the Capitol and meet some local legislators.
K eyston e Clu b
Keystone Club aims to enable teens to work together on projects
that have a positive impact on other members, the Club and the
overall community. In 2012, teen members learned about different
non-profit organizations in the Chippewa Valley. By visiting Bolton
Refuge House, The Community Table, Azura Memory Care, and
the Severson Home, the members received a first-hand learning
experience in giving back to the community.
