SUMMER SERVINGS: BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI'S

SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM GETS BOOST

The Walmart Foundation Grant Helps Provide Wholesome Meals for Club Members Sedalia, MO -- July 1, 2009 -- It is estimated that more than 12 million children who qualify to receive a

free or reduced-price lunch during the academic year may be deprived of this vital meal during the summer months when school is out. To help combat that trend locally, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is the recipient of a little extra help in the form of a $6,000 Summer Servings grant through a partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and the Walmart Foundation to ensure that Club members have access to nutritious meals and snacks this summer. "With the current economic downturn, we've seen a decline in resources while simultaneously receiving a record number of requests from families and children in need - many of whom have never had to ask for public assistance," said Brett Barth-Fagan, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri. "This grant from the Walmart Foundation is greatly appreciated as it comes at a time when so many families are struggling to provide their children with healthy meals this summer. We are able to step up and help our families during these hard economic times." Through support from the Summer Food Service Program and the Walmart Summer Savings grant, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is providing a free lunch and snack to all youth ages 6 to 18 at two of the Sedalia Club locations. The food is served at the Club's Downtown facility located in at 314 S Washington and at the Parkview Elementary location at 1901 S New York Ave. The Club also serves a lunch for youth at the Sedalia Housing District located at 500 Welch Ct. from noon to 12:30 p.m. lunches are available to any youth in the community and to eligible disabled adults over 18 at any of the three sites serviced by the Boys & Girls Club. The collaboration between the Walmart Foundation and BGCA, is an example of how private-public partnerships can help alleviate some of the nation's pressing problems, by combining efforts from corporate, non-profit and governmental sectors to ensure that Americans have access to wholesome meals. "We continue to see the impact that the economy is having on our neighbors - they are stretching their budgets and looking to us for help in our stores and through our giving," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation. "Hunger relief is a cause that enables our company's strengths to work for the greater good. From supporting ummer feeding programs to donating food, we're

committed to doing all we can to help end hunger for our nation's children, parents, homeless and all who have found themselves in need" The Walmart Foundation IS working With BGCA to provide wholesome meals and snacks to more than 93,000 children, who may have otherwise gone without food over the summer Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is one of 50 local Boys & Girls Clubs receiving assistance to aid the increasing number of Americans who lean on hunger relief organizations to provide for their families during difficult financial periods. The funds provided by Walmart are part of its ongoing commitment to help people live better by fighting hunger and supporting U.S. food banks. With a new commitment to providing healthy, summer meals to children who receive free or reduced-price lunches during the school year, the Walmart Foundation is donating $7.8 million to expand its hunger relief efforts, of which BGCA is one of the beneficiaries. The Summer Program of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is hosted in two locations: Parkview Elementary and the Downtown Club at 314 S Washington. The Boys & Girls Club provides program opportunities for over 2,000 boys and girls each year.

Parents looking !to till in the gap between the :nd of the Missouri State FaIr and the start of school in Sedalia now have another option for their children. The Boys and Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri will offer drop-in days for its members from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 24 through Sept 4. Sedalia schools start after Labor Day, whi'ch falls on Sept. 7 this year. MaryLee Guthrie, direc tor of development for the Boys and Girls Clubs, said the organization ends its summer program with the start of the fair. '''Our history has shown us that during the fair, our attendance wanes so much that it's not economical for us to have staff here during

the fair," she said. The late start for Sedalia schools prompted' the organization to offer drop-in days at its downtown loca . tion, as the group does dur ing spring break and over the winter holidays. "Opening our doors that additional week is in addi tion to what we've ever done, and (we're) just trying to respond .to the commu nity needs and partner with the school and provide as much opportunity for these kids as we can," Guthrie said. CL"lj'i5S:-~~~'P;;g~A5"-"'----;

CLUBS Continuedfrom Page Al Parents picking their chil dren up Tuesday from the Boys and Girls Club sum mer program for elementary school-age children at Parkview Elementary School thought the drop-in days were a good idea. Michelle Burton said she and her family will use the drop-in days. She was pick ing up Olivia McClain, 6, one of three children she has who attend the organiza tion's programs. "I'll be restarting my semester at the college, so I'll go back before she will," she said. Burton is a student at State Fair Community Col lege. Parent Missy Comfort, who was picking up 7-year old Jacob, said the stretch between the beginning of the fair and the beginning of school is a long one, and drop-in days will help her. "I think it's an awesome idea: They really needed to do that," she said. Comfort said she was try ing to figure out who could watch Jacob, who attends the summer program every day. Parent Kris Knight said he planned to talk to his fam ily's back-up baby-sitter, but

would keep the Boys and Girls Club in mind for his daughter, g-year-old Maddie, who attends the summer program four days per week. ''We'd have to take a look at them and keep that as an option, because she's liked it," he said. Guthrie said participation in the club's summer pro grams is up this year. Between 40 and 50 children attend the teen program on any given day and atten dance among younger chile dren reached a peak of 150 children before the Sedalia School District 200 summer school program ended. "I'm confident that now that summer school is over, that number is going to go even higher. We probably have close to 400 youths enrolled," she said. The group has about 100 new members this summer. The drop-in days at the organization's downtown location will offer activities for children who have com pleted kindergarten or are enrolled in first grade through 18 years old. Chil dren must be members of the club and bring a lunch. Children may also still register for the summer pro gram.

Regional winners will advance to the 2009 RBI World Series to be hosted at Roger Dean Stadium, the S1. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins shared Spring Training site in Jupiter, Florida, August 5 14. The RBI World Series is the championship round of the RBI program, the Major League Baseball youth baseball initiative presented by KPMG. According to Daniel Savage, Boys & Girls Club RBI Coordinator, two teams will be making the four day trip to Minneapolis, one team representing the Junior League and one representing the Senior League. The Central Regional Tournament will be hosted by MLB's Minnesota Twins and Twins RBI. The tournament will bring together youth baseball teams from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Beloit, Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Seattle, Sedalia and St. Louis. Tournament games will be held at Dunning Fields in S1. Paul and Neiman Fields and Parade Stadium in Minneapolis. "This year's RBI program has been a huge success," said Savage.

I am confident," Selig continued, "that many new friendships and memories will be made." (taken from MLB.com) National RBI Statistics: RBI, celebrating its 20

anniversary in 2009, was founded by former Major Leaguer and Scout John Young, and has provided a path for many players to enter the college and professional game.

Certainly Sedalia ha its problem , but to say that "our quality of life i gradually deteriorating" come acros a pretty pes~imi tic. Now, I have only lived here since January, 0 I cannot personally attest to life in dalia over the d cade . What I can say, though, is that I see an awful lot of good in the community.

And they are happening throughout town. Nolen noted that nearby communi ties are offering "all kinds of summer entertainment" Sedalia has its share of entertainment and activities, as well.

Sedalia's dogs even get a couple of days where they can swim in city pools. You don't even have to take part in these activities; just watching them provides hours of free entertainment And let's not forget a summer's worth of Sedalia Bombers baseball games, where tickets were only $5 and youths 12 and younger got in free. Parents who need a place for their kids to be active and safe can tum to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mis souri. Need a ride? OATS is on the way. Having trouble making ends meet? Open Door, the Salvation Army soup kitchen and the Community Cafe will ensure you don't go hungry. And to experience the true spirit of our community, check out the annual United Way awards event, where hun dreds ofloca1 businesses and residents are honored for their volunteerism. So do all of these positives out weigh our community's negatives? That is for each resident to decide for herself or himself. I'm a "glass half-full" kind of guy, so I see Sedalia as being big enough to offer its residents a lot, but small enough for folks to know one another and better understand who could use a hand. We have opportunities to make dalia a better place to live, work and play for all of its residents. olen pointed out some of those opportuni tie ,and indeed they deserv atten tion.

Donationsfrom October "Round-Up" Program Benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, the JCPenney Store's Afterschool Fund Partner

SEDALIA, MO. - November 3, 2009 - Thanks to funds raised through a recent "Round-Up" program at the JCPenney store in Sedalia, local children in need will continue to have access to afterschool programming at the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, the store's JCPenney Afterschool Fund partner. From October 16 through 25, JCPenney customers were invited to "round-up" their JCPenney purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to local afterschool programs that provide at-risk children access to life-enriching activities that inspire children to be smart, strong and socially responsible. According to Sedalia's JCPenney Supervisor/United Way Coordinator, Sarah Martin, the local JCPenney store holds four "Round-Up" events throughout the year and this October "Round-Up" raised $1,298 which represented a 43 percent shopper participation rate. Over the past six months, Martin said the shopper participation rate increased by nearly 10 percent. "With the $1,298 raised from the Sedalia JCPenney's recent 'Round-Up' program, even more children can benefit from the Boys & Girls Club afterschool programs," said Boys & Girls Club Executive Director, Brett Barth-Fagan. "We appreciate JCPenney and the local community'S support as we work towards our goal of providing high-quality afterschool programs that provide academic, physical and social development for children in West Central Missouri."

JCPenney's "Round-Up" program was held in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri's celebration of Lights on Afterschool. October 22 is the largest organized national afterschool awareness day with more than 7,500 events throughout the nation. More than a million people celebrated the Lights on Afterschool event and urged leaders to show support for afterschool programs that keep children safe, inspire them to learn and help working families. This year, as part of Lights on Afterschool, JCPenney and the Afterschool Alliance released results from America After 3 PM' A Household Survey on Afterschool in America, an in-depth study to explore how America's children spend their afternoons. Sponsored by the JCPenney Afterschool Fund, a public charity that inspires children to be smart, strong and socially responsible, the study measures progress and includes updated information on afterschool participation nationally and in all 50 states.

"Lights On Afterschool is an exciting event that honors the importance of afterschool programs for America's children, families and communities," said Sedalia JCPenney Store Manager, Don Lambertz. "Based on results from the America After 3PM survey, 12 percent of children in Missouri participate in afterschool programs. We know we need to do more to keep up with the rising demand of afterschool programs locally. We look forward to continuing our strong, long term commitment to this issue and appreciate our customers for their support of this worthy cause."

Missouri has clubs in Sedalia schools, La Monte, Leeton, Smithton, Cole Camp and Green Ridge, Barth-Fagan said there are still local chil dren in need of an after-school program. 'There isn't a chance we are reaching every child," he said. Barth-Fagan cited funding as the main reason every child i n't being reached. "It takes dollars to run pro grams," he said. Barth-Fagan said each facility needs $150,(XX) to $250,000 to function annually. Costs include snacks, milk, workbooks for the tutoring program and supplies for the various clubs. The club also pays 37 full-time employees, 63 part-time employees and teacher stipends to man pro grams and provide tutoring. "Our large t expense is staff," Barth-Fagan said. But Barth-Fagan isn't COIll plaining "Our staffha"i an absolutl:' bllli~t and they ~et kids," he said...\ are offering tiwm

competitiye salaries and gTeat benefit",." Another reason children can't or don't participate in the progTam is transportation Barth-Fag'dJl said low-income families often rely on the bus to drop their children at home after school. "Parents may not haw a way to pick their child up at 6 p.m.," Barth-Fagan said. While adding a 6 p.m. bus route would be ideal, Barth Fagan said it would be expen sive. 11le club would need to pay for fuel, maintenance, insurance and bus driver's salaries. The Boy' and Girls Club, a nonprofit organization, is funded through grants and donations. One local corpo rate donator isJ,C. Penney in Sedalia. TIle tore holds four "ROWld-Up" evenl", through out the year, where customers . re invited to round-up their purchases to the nearest dol lar. 11le difference js donated to the Boys and (~irls Club of \\'(·",t Central Mi~sol11i.

During the last six months, Martin said the shop per participation rate increased by nearly 10 per cent. ]. c. Pemley also has funded 20 children to partici pate in the program free of charge, which costs about $6,000 aJUlUally. 'That is a huge commit ment," Barth-Fagan said. One progran1 funded by the donations is Power Hour, which is a comprehensive homework help and tutoring program designed to raise the academic proficiency ofclub members. Barth-Fagan said parents of club members are huge fans of the homework program because it enables them to spend quality time with their children. "Parents say tllank you because they can have dinner and intera<.1. \vith their chil dren," Bartll-Fagan said.

work, benefit from Power Hour: Barth-Fagan said older children with reading home work often read out loud to the younger students. "It is community learning," Barth-Fagan said "Retention is better when you read to someone." After snack and homework time, club-goers participate in a variety ofactivities including craft and science projects. During Halloween week, the tudents mixed common household compounds, like lemon and milk, to see how tlley reacted. "The kids loved it," Barth Fagan said Parents ofclub members pay $5 per day or $20 per week for their child to partici pate in the club and scholar ships are available. 'We have yet to tum any one away," Barth-Fagan said. "We will find a way." While money and trans portation may limit the club s reach, Barth-Fagan is confi dent in the future. "I hope to bring together a coalition of supporters that will enable us to grow," he said.

Boys & Girls Club to Present Winter Showcase ***Your Coverage is Invited ***

What: Over the next three weeks, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri's teen Club members will be showcasing their newfound skills in communications, photography, theatre and crime scene investigation. Dancing ghostly ghouls, mystery and intrigue, cutting-edge photography, plus a stellar video broadcast is in store for those attending the upcoming Winter Showcase events. Information about the Modules: Since expanding the after school program to include teens in 2007, the Boys & Girls Club has done so with a unique platform of curriculum. During the past three months, the Club has been rotating four after school programs in crime scene investigation, photography, culture and theatre for sixth- through 1i h- grade Club members. These programs have been offered to teens in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Sedalia and Smithton.

"ROUND-UP" HOLIDAY PURCHASES FOR THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB 100 Percent of Donations Raised at Local JCPenney will Benefit West Central Missouri Youth

SEDALIA, MO - December 8,2009 - From December 4 through13, shoppers at the JCPenney store in the Sedalia Thompson Hills Shopping Center are invited to "round-up" their purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri to support quality afterschool programs. JCPenney has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club to provide at-risk children with access to life-enriching afterschool programs that foster their academic, physical and social development. ''The availability of affordable afterschool programs continues to be an important community objective in order to meet the needs of working families," said Brett Barth-Fagan, Boys & Girls Club Executive Director. "As customers shop for the Christmas season, we hope they will keep our mission in mind by rounding-up their purchases to benefit a local cause." All funds raised from JCPenney's "Round-Up" campaign will make it possible for more local youth to participate in the Boys & Girls Club's afterschool programming, which includes 22 site programs in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Smithton and Sedalia. Recent studies show that more than a quarter of America's school children are on their own between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. each day.* More parents seek the resources to enroll their children in a beneficial afterschool program that helps kids develop social skills, provide opportunities to be physically active and achieve academic success in school. JCPenney's

continuing support and commitment to the afterschool cause has made it possible for tens of thousands of children to participate in essential afterschool programs nationwide.

BE CREATIVE! BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF WEST CENTRAL MISSOUIR TO HOLD PHOTO TECH COMPETITION

SEDALIA, MO - December 29, 2009 - As part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America's National Photo Tech Competition the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri will display full page magazine advertisements designed by Club members in the US Bank main lobby located at 3615 West Broadway Boulevard in Sedalia from January 4 through 15. The BE CREATIVE Photo Tech competition requires that Club members design magazine ads that motivate their peers to "Be Great." The ads will be judged in two age categories 10-12 and 13-15 by local representatives from ABC Advertising, Callis & Associates and Art & Graphic Designers Service. The winners at the local level will advance to the Midwest regional competition. All regional winners will then advance to the national competition where the winning entry could be used in a future Boys & Girls Clubs of America publication. Photo Tech is a Club program that incorporates interactive courseware designed to teach the fundamentals of digital photography and photo editing. Club members are able to build their technological skills by exploring the world of photography and following a hands-on curriculum. While participating in Photo Tech Club members have the opportunity to take digital photos, examine the effects of distance and angle, and learn about photo composition. They also learn digital photo manipulation, from basic photo editing tasks, such as cropping and adjusting color and light, to advanced projects that require image filters and layering, such as creating CD cover art or photographic hoaxes. "Digital cameras are very common these days and with Photo Tech we are teaching our kids how to use them appropriately, discover their inner artist while opening their eyes to a possible career path," said Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri's executive director, Brett Barth足 Fagan. "By taking them step-by-step through fun and engaging projects, members develop tech skills they will need to succeed in school and the workplace." Photo Tech is part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Digital Arts Suite, a dynamic component of the Club Tech program, designed to digitally teach youth about the arts and expose them to a level of advanced technology commensurate with college- or professional足 level experiences. Club Tech, a partnership between Boys & Girls Clubs of America, founding partner Microsoft and the Best Buy Children's foundation, provides access to basic and

advanced technology training for some 4.8 million youth served through Club membership and community outreach. "To succeed in today's technology-driven world, digital literacy skills are key and almost always expected," said Roxanne Spillett, president and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. "Through the Club Tech program we're bridging the digital divide and giving all kids of various ages and backgrounds the opportunity to explore technology in ways they never imagined possible." Club members also have access to four other Digital Arts Suite programs: Web Tech which teaches the basics of Web site development and design; Design Tech instructs on the fundamentals of graphic design and desktop publishing; Movie Tech coaches scriptwriting and digital movie making skills; and Music Tech introduces youth to the world of electronic music production. Located in Cole Camp, La Monte, Leeton, Green Ridge, Smithton and Sedalia, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri provided programming opportunities for more than 2,220 youth 6-18 years old in 2009.

OUTSTANDING MEMBERS COMPETE FOR BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA’S STATE YOUTH OF THE YEAR HONOR Sedalia, MO- January 29, 2010 – The Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri hosted its annual Youth of the Year competition on January 28, at 7 p.m. at the Fox Theater in Sedalia, MO. Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. The title recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles overcome. This program was founded over 60 years ago through the generosity of the Reader’s Digest Foundation. After calculating the judges' results at the Youth of the Year event, Alexis Roark, from Green Ridge High School won the teen competition, Stephanie Trevino from La Monte High School took second place and Leslie Nease from Cole Camp High School took third. Alexis Roark is a true example of an extraordinary young woman. At age 14, she has just been selected to compete against other Boys & Girls Club members for the Missouri Youth of the Year title and a $1,000 scholarship from the Reader’s Digest Foundation. As the Youth of the Year for the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, Roark is among hundreds of local youth across the country recognized by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for her sound character, leadership skills and willingness to give back to the community. As the winner of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s Youth of the Year, Roark is

able to apply for a full-ride, four year scholarship to Marquette University. If Roark wins at the state competition, she will compete for the title of Midwest Region Youth of the Year and an additional $10,000 scholarship. The five regional winners will advance to Washington, D.C., in September 2009, to compete for the title of BGCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Youth of the Year. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $15,000 college scholarship and is installed by the President in an Oval Office ceremony. Although elementary Youth of the Year winners arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t old enough to compete at the state level, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri believes it is important to encourage and honor all youth for their achievements. Alex Esquivel from Skyline Elementary won the elementary competition, Erika Tackett from Horace Mann Elementary took second and Hunter Gilliam from Washington Elementary took third.
