Rotary Lunch Program: Boys and Girls Club

Bess Goggins, CEO of Boys and Girls Club of Bend   On Tuesday, April 12 2022, our lunch meeting will be at the Boys and Girls Club of Bend, hosted by our Rotary club member Bess Goggins.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. ​They are a place where great futures are started each and every day. ​At the two locations in Bend, they offer life-changing programs to youth between the ages of 5 to 18 years old. Thei programs focus on academic success, healthy lifestyles, character development and leadership involvement in our community in Central Oregon.

Beth and her colleague Alice Ivie will be giving a tour of the facilities. Park on the street, or at the historical museum on Idaho.

VERY IMPORTANT: Signup for lunch here so we know how many box lunches to order from the caterer.

We received this certificate and a letter from ShelterBox for our recent support of their aid programs:

Hi Gary,

Congratulations and a big THANK YOU! Your ShelterBox HERO Club certificates are attached.

Please know that this thank you comes not only from me and from ShelterBox USA, but from the families who have received shelter and essential household equipment during their worst imaginable days. Your donation has brought hope and dignity as they begin to repair their lives.

I apologize that we can’t deliver this in person but am looking forward to the time when we can meet face-to-face again.
