THE SANDY CLUB

Congratulations to our February Member of the Month, Elicio Mora. Elicio is 7 years old and attends Sandy Elementary, where his favorite subject is Math. When Elicio grows up he wants to be a police officer or a video game designer. What Elicio likes most about himself is his hair. When asked why he thought he was voted Member of the Month he replied, “Because I’m nice to everyone.” Elicio has been a member of the club for over 1 year; in that time, he learned to be nice to everyone. Elicio’s favorite thing to do at the club is play kickball. If Elicio had one wish it would be to go to Disneyland.Congratulations once again Elicio. We are so proud of you!

Starbucks and Sandy City community members came together with Real Salt Lake’s Luis Silva to give the kids at The Sandy Club, “A Safe Place for Boys and Girls” an unforgetable holiday experience.

Volunteers donated clothes, gloves, hats, scarves, and coats as well as their time and talents to provide games and crafts for the members of The Club. Starbucks donated prizes, food, and cocoa for the kids who were all too excited for the cake pops and cookies!

Luis Silva donated his skills playing soccer and his signature to give raffle winners one of a kind memorabilia!

The Club also received as surprise visit from THE GRINCH! He retold his epic tale of Christmas hate turning to Christmas love while giving the kids candy canes and oranges for a special holiday treat!

What wonderful experiences we were given here at The Club! Thank you for a wonderful holiday season!

As shopping season commences, The Sandy Club has partnered with Amazon Smile to raise funds for the Club. With each purchase you make on Amazon.com, Amazon will donate a portion of your purchase to the club.

Visit smile.amazon.com and choose “The Sandy Club A Safe Place for Boys and Girls” to help out the Club while you shop this holiday season.

As the holidays approach, we as the staff and administration of The Sandy Club felt it was good to give our kids a chance for reflection and fun! So, with the wonderful help of Costco, we were able to give pie and whipped cream to all the kids and have a magician, the wonderful Lance Nielsen, come perform for the kids! Our kids also took some time to write down what they are thankful for. What a special day it was to hear the kids laugh, play, and enjoy this wonderful time of year. We hope you take time to reflect on what you are thankful for as Thanksgiving come this week.

Thursday was a special day at The Sandy Club, “A Safe Place for Boys and Girls” as Sandy City’s Mayor Bradburn came to visit! Mayor Bradburn came to visit with the kids and announce his “No-Shave November” fundraiser—which will benefit The Sandy Club. Mayor Bradburn spoke to the kids and then had a professional shave to make sure his beard will come in perfectly! We are so grateful for his help! You can follow Mayor Bradburn on Facebook.

We’ve finally gone and done it–we’re redesigning our website. Hopefully this website will serve as a great resource for the youth who attend our program, their families, and the greater Sandy City community!

In this website you will find announcement about Club activities, Youth of the Month, updated calendars, and various exciting going-on’s at The Sandy Club.
