A few highlights for the springtime:
First, a big hand and a “job well done” to our Diversion Director, Heather Baker, for the “Every 15 Minutes” program held in April. This anti-drunk-driving program was eight months in the making, and included a mock crash, mock court, a film, an all-school assembly at St. Helena High School, first responders, a med-evac helicopter and a follow-up retreat. Over 600 students attended the assembly, as well as numerous community members, teachers, administrators, guest speakers and parents. What a great program for high school students, and for the entire community!
Next, is a welcome to Caiti Dorow. Caiti is our new Development and Marketing Coordinator. She comes to us from the Clubs in Petaluma where she served first in program and then as a Development Associate. Caiti’s focus will primarily be fundraising, including our special events, annual giving, grants, major gifts, capital campaign and endowment. Caiti is a “Club kid,” having grown up in a Club. She is a graduate of Sonoma State University. And speaking of funding, we are again honored and grateful to be a participant and recipient of the upcoming Auction Napa Valley, a great spring tradition.
Program Highlights--The arts and garden programs at the Calistoga and St. Helena Clubs are flourishing this spring with lots of members taking part. And, at the Calistoga Teen Center, “Taco Tuesday” bike club takes place each Tuesday afternoon, which includes a bike ride and a stop at a taco truck for dinner. The St. Helena Club recently hosted charter school students, taking their STAR testing.
And finally, what follows spring? Why, summer of course! All three Club locations are preparing for the summer program which begins in June. The Calistoga and St. Helena Clubs’ basic summer hours are 8am to 6pm, with the Calistoga Teen Center open Noon to 6pm. Summer memberships are now available, and a great daily program at all three locations is planned.
Great Futures Start HERE!
