A story is woven together,piece by piece, and along each step of the wayare the smiles of kids. In good times, and the not sogood times, it is clear that what drove dedicated staffand volunteers was the knowledge of the differenceClubs make in lives.The names are a veritable “Who’s Who” of SkagitCounty, and pop-up regularly throughout the timeline.Club alumni like Don Wick, former Executive Director atEDASC who credited his time at the Ballard Boys Clubin keeping him out of jail. Or current Mount VernonSchool Superintendent Carl Bruner, who realized thevalue Clubs bring in support of Academic achievementfor members. And the legends, with names like Gubrud,Bartlett, Crawford, Nagel, Potter, Christoferson—justa few of the many extraordinary community memberswho have served kids through the Boys & Girls Clubs,and through our humble mission, greater Skagit County.Twenty years later, and the Clubs in Skagit County arestrong, because of the community support, advocates,legends, volunteers, families, collaborative agencies,and selfless individuals who find new and continuingways to give of themselves, and encourage the giving ofothers, to perpetuate a better future for a child, whenthey have no control of their own situation.
