This past Saturday, June 19th, Club Members and staff woke up extra early to participate in the City’s Annual Sand Castle & Sand Sculpture Contest at Crown Memorial Beach. This year’s design selection was a large sculpture of SpongeBob SquarePants and his best friend Patrick. With our members working together diligently with shovels, garden tools, and buckets, we completed our sculpture before the end of the allotted time.
While on the journey back to the Teen Center, all the kids decided it would be fun to participate in next year’s event. We capped off the contest with a pizza party for all the members who participated.
On Thursday, June 17, we hosted the first half of our Money Matters Seminar. The Money Matters program promotes financial responsibility and independence by building their basic money management skills. With the assistance of Kohls’ A-Team, members are learning how to manage a checking account, budget, save and invest. All Club Members who complete the full Money Matters Seminar will earn 2 free tickets to an upcoming Oakland Athletics baseball game! The second half of the seminar is scheduled for Thursday, June 24th.
