afternoon good men and committee members thank you for allowing me to testify on behalf on behalf of our clubhouse i'm here to just give you some background information in case you need it basically we have been in existence as the haiku boys and girls club and then i can come in and center for the past fifteen years we've we are growing every year we're getting more members we started as a club with less than two hundred members year and every two or three years we grow we're up to three hundred thirty members this year and we're probably going to head three fifty at the end of this fiscal year we're definitely stretching the facility  to the max levels but we're definitely very thankful and happy to be there we provide very much needed services and then i could community given us this lease will ensure that we can be there for years to come  besides just given a place for kids to come after school that maybe you have working parents or working grandparents we provide mentoring we provide homework help we provide opportunities for kids to to the mainland we've sent kids to connecticut to learn stem programs were excellent stewards of that facility not only covering up graffiti on weekly monthly daily basis whenever it pops up but also fixing things that need to be fixed taking care of area around the club not just our immediate vicinity place to stay but i also happy that we provide the services we do we have great relationships with the school the school is right next door to us and they love have announced there and the teachers in the  principal if they could be here to testify i'm sure they would testify for you to extend this lease and some of the highlights for the haiku club you know their effect the communities you know in the years that i've been there privileged enough to have a soccer league that brought kids that maybe you never thought of joining a boys and girls club but i had an interest in soccer parents came out we had christmas talent shows each year and the biggest highlight is our annual things giving dinner that we put on now bridget took it over staff all the staff cook a dish food is either bought by the club or donated from the maui food bank and we have some two hundred plus people show up each week before have daily over one hundred kids they come to the club they come the majority of them come right over from the school particularly on wednesdays when i could school lets out at twelve thirty in the afternoon  parents really appreciate our service because that's not particularly at the end of the day anymore for working parents so our members and where we have three hundred thirty members available had three fifty this year we have a lot of programs for the kids that fall into a wide range of activities and we have the most aggressive program schedule we've had i have since i've been there at this beginning of this fall we have feasts of the world where this week i'll be going to finland and the kids learn about different countries and then they also participate in making a call unary dish from their country and the kids last week was botswana it's really exciting to see the kids broaden their horizons and then we also have hawaiian culture club film and video club we also have girls club arts we have parties with the kids on fridays and we also have a keystone club which is a teen club it's looks also for teenagers who are going to be going off to college to be a part of this national program with boys and girls club they do community service there's a criteria that they have to meet in we have officers for the club and the kids take it quite seriously and are already planning community service projects on the island  to to do that you know at that check and then we also have all kinds of fun outdoor activities soccer flying football we send them on scavenger hunts and they go on treasure hunt so they have to learn math on the way so we think of other fun ways where they can have a really good time in the club but then also still use their brain and we help the kids and mentor them so that they can reach their highest potential and we not only work with them but we also work with their families a lot of the kids consider our club to be their second or third home in some cases and we meet with families and parents and we are kind of backup for areas where parents feel that their kids need a little bit more help to become the person that everyone knows that they can become and awesome member of our community so yeah i have a great relationship with the school and also relationship with the county parks guy they're great we love being stewards of the community center the kids even in committee members my name is amy and i am a development specialist with the boys and girls club of today i'm here to provide testimony on behalf of joy emanuel who is a longtime program director at a haiku clubhouse aloha my name is joy emanuel i have been a program director at the boys and girls clubs of clubhouse for over fifteen years over the years i have seen many faces and two through our doors i can say without a doubt we have made a positive impact on the lives of children and families within our community of haiku there have been many dramatic achievements made by our kids at the club one example is a girl that first came to us after school from foster care we not only provided after school care but we assisted her as a second home and stable environment with staff that cared and kept her on target to graduate from school she ended up returning to her family we then help the family with their daily needs and she went on to graduate high school and is now full time employed in high q and a role model for our current members we are like a second home for kids and a support system to families going through difficulties we are always here for the kids the biggest change i have seen over the past fifteen years is that we have actually outgrown our facility and we outgrew it quite some time ago the need for us to be here today for the kids is greater than it was fifteen years ago the current economy is forcing families to work longer hours and both parents to work not to mention the number of single family households has increased in some cases we are the only option for many single parents to watch their children and help them with their homework while their parent or grandparent is working we not only help the kids with homework reading and outdoor activities but we are also a shoulder to cry on in times of hardship i am very proud of our thanksgiving dinner we host every year free for our kids and their families to attend at the community center the food is donated and for many families this is the only big turkey feast they have for the holiday currently one of my projects is to create a community cupboard for the kids to be able to take provisions home to their families in need the kids will be able to discreetly ask staff for items that their family is in need of such as paper products school supplies and canned goods this is not a large initiative but we are able to help and go above and beyond for our kids and their families in closing we do very significant work at our high who clubhouse with results of keeping our kids headed in the right direction i personally attend graduation
