The Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Plains is honored to invite the community to a special evening celebrating the opening of The Clubhouse Early Childhood Enrichment Center, the successful first year of Traditional Club programming in Vermillion, and the dedication of the gym in honor of Susan "Sue" French.
The Clubhouse is a partnership between the Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Plains, the Vermillion School District, and the Vermillion Area Chamber & Development Company, created to expand opportunities for children and families in our community.
The evening will also recognize the first year of Traditional Club programming in Vermillion, made possible through support from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, and celebrate the positive impact the program has already had on local youth.
In addition, a special gym dedication ceremony will honor the legacy of Susan "Sue" French, whose dedication to youth and community service continues to inspire generations. The dedication is made possible through a generous donation from Brady Companies LLC in her memory.
