Upcoming events at Whatcom County Boys and Girls Club


            The Boys and Girls Club of Whatcom County, located in the Roosevelt neighborhood, is having multiple upcoming events.
            Program Director Rhonda Shaffer is in charge of most of these events.
            On Feb. 23 there will be a Family Fun Night from 5 – 7 p.m.
            Shaffer said parents don’t always get a chance to take time out of their day and spend quality time with their children.
            “This is a time where parents of the members can choose to come in and play with their kids,” Shaffer said. “We have tons of activities set up and we usually get a great turnout.”
            Family Fun Nights happen the fourth Wednesday of every month.
            Another upcoming event is the Teen Lock-In taking place on Feb. 25 from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. This is hosted at the Ferndale Boys and Girls Club and is a fun packed night where teens are required to stay the night.
            “The kids have a blast,” said Shaffer. “We have more stuff for them to do then you could even imagine.”
            As basketball season is ending at the club, baseball season is just getting started.
            “We’re starting to get teams together for baseball and fast pitch right now,” Shaffer said.
There is also have a day in June where kids and their families can go to a Mariner’s game for a discounted price.
