The Boyd Family was honored for their support of Boys & Girls Clubs movement for over 50 years. Also in attendance was the Rubeli Family for the unveiling of the new Rubeli Family Teen Center. Local politicians from the City of Henderson, top business leaders, Boys & Girls Club board members, and key supporters were also present at the ceremony. “The renovation of this facility will allow us to provide more programs for the kids, while increasing the club’s visibility and membership”. Mike Meyer, CEO

of The Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada went on to say, “The JYD Project’s design concepts and contributions, even in the small details, brought in something special that we didn’t see. The finishing of the building was done very
well and I don’t think we could have a better job. Jerome Williams and The JYD Project
team brought it all together”. The Mary and Sam Boyd Boyd Club building renovation includes a new teen center complete with a lounge area and computer workstations, a learning/study center, a gameroom with a kitchen and eating area, and an outdoor sports area adjacent to the Wells Park Recreation Area. Program staff and kids alike are excited about the newly renovated Mary and Sam Boyd Boys and Girls Club. The JYD Project team would like to say “thank you” and
