“The Positive Place for Kids”
By Brian Meyer, Executive Director
Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dubuque

This is the 114th anniversary of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dubuque! The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dubuque was one of the first 53 Clubs in the country and one of the first five West of the Mississippi River. Looking back in history when Kate Van Duzee started with a small group of boys in her house in 1900, we have come a long way. From several location changes for the boys, to the inception of the Girls ‘Club in 1973, to the merging of the two organizations in April, 1999 there have been many changes. With many changes, there has always been one thing that has remained constant, the Club is a fun place where kids can come and see a friendly face. No matter what the situation is in our member’s lives, they know when they come to the Club they can leave all their worries behind and have fun! The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dubuque offers a variety of different activities and programs for school age kids to participate. The Club is a great place to come whether you wish to read a book, use a computer, participate in Brain Games, play a game in the Game Room, paint a plaque or color a picture in Arts & Crafts, or play a game of Dodge Ball in the gym. This is a small sampling of the many, many programs and activities offered everyday at the Boys & Girls Club. Scholarships are available to any eligible boy or girl who cannot afford our $30.00 yearly membership fee!!! We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come and see what we have to offer the youth of our community.

Tonight’s installment of Passport Adventures was about Arizona! Chimichangas were created there, so of course we had to taste-test those and some cactus candy after learning all about The Copper State.

Centrally Rooted kept our members busy for another week! Yesterday Dan met with a ton of our members for Rooted Lessons and two of our high school members performed their very own original song for all of us!

Tonight, Sam led a Mindful Musicians program for our 2nd graders where they learned about being themselves and how important that is no matter their age.

UMB Bank volunteers visited our Club again to play jeopardy with our 4th, 6th, and 7th graders! They learned so much about credit, responsible money choices, and budgeting for their future. They also won some UMB merch for getting answers correct. It was so fun!
