Club Update – 5/29/2020
Summer registration will be available to existing Club member families on June 1, 2020 at 3:00 pm. Please look for an email from the Clubs at that time with a link to begin your registration. If you do not receive an email, the links will also be posted on this website on June 1st at 3 pm. No registrations will be accepted in person. Because there are limited slots, all registrations will be placed onto a waiting list as they are received until the Club Directors are able to verify your requests. You will receive a confirmation within 48-72 hours after submitting your request. There will be no charge for this summer’s program, in an effort to assist Club families who have been experiencing great financial challenges. With that being said, there will be opportunities to make donations at a later date for those that wish to do so!
Due to school closures from the pandemic, there will not be a summer program available this year at either Rogers-Garden or Oneco Elementary Schools. Daughtrey Elementary will be hosted at Visible Men Academy. If you have any trouble accessing the registration portal, please call your Club for assistance on June 1st after 3pm or later. For those that are not able to get a slot this summer, please be aware that we will continue to offer a variety of virtual activities on Club Connect, which are also free of charge.
We appreciate our Club families, miss seeing your smiling faces, and hope to connect with you soon!
With warmest regards,
Dawn Stanhope
President & CEO
