We were a game room and place for kids to hang out. Very little developmental programming took place. The new clubhouse opened on June 21, 1999. The first week we had 145 children enroll. The second week 274 more joined and by December 1400 joined the facility.
Area schools send busloads of students to our clubhouse everyday.
We have a fleet of three 15-passenger vans that transport children from the elementary schools in three towns to our club everyday. We average over 400 children per day. A safe place to go after school, with homework help, computers, a fun place that had games and sports activities. This was the rallying cry for the entire community, which helped raise the funds needed to build the new club. Area towns made financial contributions and the State of Connecticut provided almost a million dollars in bond funds.
