Pool Update.
We have water!  We have new tiles!  Everything is clean!
However, our repaired pump is arriving today and after installation we will need time to balance the chemicals and heat up the water.

So....no swimming on Monday September 15.  Watch here for information about Tuesday-we are hopeful to be able to see you then.

The Winifred Crawford Dibert Boys & Girls Club will open for Youth Hours on Thursday September 4.

The Youth schedule will be:

Monday through Friday 3:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.

A snack and meal will be served each day.

Homework help is available everyday from 3-6 pm

The Club offers two game rooms, a computer lab, an art room, a calming center and a gym in a safe, healthy environment.

Swimming is available daily once the pool reopens September 15.

Family events are scheduled once per month on Saturdays beginning with our annual Halloween Party on Saturday October 18 from 12-2.

Annual youth memberships are $25/child. The Club has some partial scholarships available to assist with the membership fee for those needing assistance. A membership form needs to be completed with updated information to attend the Club. Up to three household members may be on one form.

New members are always welcome. Call the Club for more information 716-664-2902.

NYS Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes sponsored a grant for our WNY Collaborative of Boys & Girls Clubs.  We just finished the grant year and we were able to offer a variety of activities throughout the year to teach our members how to be more proactive in handling conflict and difficulties with peace in their lives. 

   The grant focused on improving mental health and helped us to offer a variety of Club staff led activities as well as drumming, dance, art and yoga.  The members truly enjoyed all the events.

   The grant also provided funds to set up two calming spaces in our Club.  In the upstairs game room, we have a corner area for the younger members and we also have a special room for the older members.  The youth selected the colors and furniture.  We chose a variety of books, activities and items to help them with calming down.  There is also some special soothing lighting in the room.

Here are some pictures of the calming areas.

Thank you Crystal Peoples-Stokes!  And thank you to the Collaborative for sharing this special funding with all of the WNY Clubs.
