Dear Parents & Guardians –
I’m writing to let you know that we will be closing our Carroll County Boys & Girls Club this spring. Our last day of programming will be Friday, March 27.
For more than 10 years, we have served kids and teens at the Carroll Club. We have really enjoyed getting to know you, your families, and the community.
In recent years, the Carroll community has opened a number of afterschool programs and our Club has struggled to maintain high levels of membership and attendance. We have also had a difficult time finding a long-term location that is cost effective and meets our needs to run quality programming.
We recognize that finding high-quality care for your kids is very important. We have connected with local schools and community partners and identified a number of options for you to explore. Please reference the list of resources below for details and contact information.
For those members who attend regularly – at least 3 times per week – we will be offering a full refund on your membership.
If you have any additional questions about this transition, feel free to reach out to either me or Claire Guitton. You can find our contact information below.
We appreciate you entrusting us with your kids and have enjoyed getting to know you and your families! We wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Ruth Holder
Sr. Executive Director
Carroll County Boys & Girls Club
