Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County<br />
Welcomes New CEO<br />
Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County names Carly Bennett-Valle as<br />
their incoming CEO on Wednesday, May<br />
26th. The announcement comes as the<br />
organization re-opens its Murrieta Clubhouse<br />
for Summer Day Camp program<br />
and plans to re-open its Lakeland Village<br />
Clubhouse in Lake Elsinore on August<br />
11th for its Back-to-School Program,<br />
serving youth, ages 6-17, in Southwest<br />
Riverside County.<br />
“We are thrilled to have Carly leading<br />
the way as we transition into a new<br />
chapter, increasing our services to meet<br />
the demands of the growing southwest<br />
Riverside corridor,” said Kimberly Freize<br />
Uhler, Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County’s chairwoman of the board.<br />
“Carly has been with the Boys &<br />
Girls Club of Southwest County since<br />
2015 and has over 17 years of non-profit<br />
experience bringing a unique perspective<br />
to the organization. Now more than ever,<br />
we need to support the youth and families<br />
in our communities. As a board, we are<br />
confident Carly is the right person to advance<br />
our efforts and positively impact<br />
the lives of local youth in Lake Elsinore,<br />
Murrieta, and Temecula,” Freize Uhler<br />
said.<br />
The Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County expects to serve over 1,089 youth<br />
this year at three locations, including<br />
Temecula, Murrieta, and Lake Elsinore.<br />
The organization continues to grow as<br />
the need for services increases year over<br />
year.<br />
Bennett-Valle began working with<br />
the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County as a part-time bookkeeper in<br />
November 2015, and even though she<br />
has always served in a financial role at<br />
the organization, she has also worked<br />
in various other capacities including<br />
development, special events, facilities,<br />
operations, transportation, and information<br />
technology.<br />
“I am so excited for this next chapter<br />
with the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County,” said Bennett-Valle.<br />
“We have had a tough year, like<br />
many companies and individuals, but<br />
we are fortunate to have the support of<br />
amazing donors and communities that<br />
enabled us to succeed and continue<br />
serving the families and children who<br />
need us. This organization is near and<br />
dear to my heart, and I look forward to<br />
this opportunity to continue growing and<br />
developing it. I can’t wait for all the great<br />
things to come, and I am honored to be a<br />
part of this extraordinary organization,”<br />
Bennett-Valle said.<br />
Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County has served the youth in our community<br />
for over 30 years. The mission<br />
of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest<br />
County is to inspire, enable and support<br />
