Our Annual Events

Community Easter Egg Hunt
Each year local youth are invited to participate in an Easter egg hunt at the Club. Aside from the egg hunt, there are always lots of fun activities likes Easter-themed games, inflatables, and face painting.
Trunk-A-Treat
In mid-October each year we host Trunk-A-Treat, a fun Halloween event outside the Club. We invite kids in the community to come in costume for a spooktacular night. Each year we are in need of community members to volunteer and decorate their trunks and distribute candy.
Holiday Shopping Spree
WLCA 89.9 Radio station located on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College sponsors a “Shopping Spree” for deserving club members. Each year 50 youth are selected to participate based on need, attendance, and program participation. Each youth receives $50 to spend on themselves and or loved ones. Special Thanks to Mike Lemons and his students for the continuous support for this program.
