Jim little Board Chair 2007–2008 as i refleCt on the previous year, it has been a very successful time for the Boys & Girls Clubs serving Wake County. our success is due to the dedication and teamwork of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ staff, Board members, volunteers, and financial supporters. Without this well-equipped team, the past year’s achievements would not have been possible. This year marked the 40 th anniversary of service provided by the Boys & Girls Clubs in Wake County. since 1967, tens of thousands of children and teenagers have walked through our doors and more will come as we continue improving the community we serve. We began the year with two new Clubs, the Brentwood Boys & Girls Club and the teen Center. Both Clubs focus on a segment of our community’s population that has been underserved. The Brentwood Club was organized to bring the services provided by our organization to Wake County’s growing Hispanic community, and the teen Center provides a continuum of services to our community’s growing teen population. The success of these two clubs has exceeded our expectations. This year, we were fortunate to receive two large grants to help with the program costs of these new Clubs. The first is a threeyear grant that will support the Hispanic outreach initiative at the Brentwood Boys & Girls Club. The second grant is a five-year commitment from the Continuous Blessings foundation that will help grow and support a much-needed new Boys & Girls Club facility in Zebulon. like many Board Chairs before me, i have had the pleasure of serving with one of the most vibrant and active volunteer Boards within Wake County. Without their dedication, guidance, and support, the Boys & Girls Clubs would not be where it is today. in recognition of its accomplishments, the north Carolina area Inspiring our youth 2008 AnnuAl RepoRt 3 Council voted our Board of Directors the “High Performance Board team of the year.” in addition, the Board was recognized by the Boys & Girls Clubs of america as the “southeast region’s top Board team.” We are also very fortunate to have one of the best staffs in our country. This year, the staff earned three marketing and communication awards at the national Boys & Girls Club Conference. and, our Club kids didn’t lag behind; they were well represented in the art competitions, with six regional winners and one national winner. Congratulations to all of our Board members, staff, and Club kids for their display of talent and ability. This success is due to the amazing efforts of our many volunteers and supporters throughout Wake County. let me express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your continuing support. Please know that you are making a difference in the lives of many children in our community. your support in the past and in the years to come will ensure that each child who comes to the Boys & Girls Clubs will have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential and become a productive citizen of our society. on behalf of the 4,032 children and teens that you have served this year, thank you for all that you do.
