To our Skagit community,As an organization, we work to ensure that all of our stakeholders are informed aboutClub operations regularly and understand how much we appreciate and value your contributionsto our success. Our semi-annual report is intended to capture highlights ofthe first half of the year, and provide you with a snapshot of the progress of our Clubsin implementing our mission: to enable all young people, especially those who need usmost, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.A personal highlight for me, during my initial term as President of the Board of Directors,was attending the 110th National Conference of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Weknow we have a strong Club organization here in Skagit County, and this was reinforced asI attended workshops and sessions, realizing that we already implement so many of the bestpractices offered.However, in seeing how the 400 Club organizations from throughout the country and on military basesaround the world come together, so determined to fulfill the Club mission, I gained a deeper appreciationfor the work our professionally trained staff in Skagit County accomplish, as well as better understanding asto the tremendous scope of the Boys & Girls Club movement, impacting more than 4million youth in 2015.Thank you for your continued support of our Clubs, and the kids and families we serve; the need is great,and only through that ongoing support are we able to make the difference we do. If you haven’t been recently,I encourage you to visit your local Clubhouse and have your own moment of realization - seeing thedifference your support provides in a very personal way.Sincerely,Mark LawrenceBoard PresidentSimply Yards Landscape & DesignDear Friends,Twice a year we are privileged to be able to share with you a deeper look at theoperations of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County.

There is a lot that goes into fulfilling our mission - to enable allyoung people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potentialas productive, caring, responsible citizens.We have had much success in the last two years, and it has been celebrated timeand again. However, we are not without our challenges, and this year, we face oneof our largest, manifest through changes in staff capacities because of updated policiesfrom the Department of Labor. These new regulations will impact many, in both the non-, andfor-profit sectors. We have worked hard to stay ahead of the issue, but changes in our operationswill be necessary, which you can read about in this semi-annual report.As an organization, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County takes very seriously its’ responsibility toconstituents and stakeholders to be good stewards of community investment, and appreciate theopportunity to inform you of our activities working to change the lives of more than 1,600 youth inSkagit County.
