posted 05/08/2008
Coaches & Managers:
Location: Fund Drive & Photo Day will be held at the Redding Community Center.
Fund Drive begins at 9 AM (routes will be handed out on a first come first serve basis, unless you have contacted Pam Berry or Kim Taylor to request a route)
Photo Day begins at 11:15 AM (team by team schedule is posted on your game schedule and also on master schedule)
The RBGC Annual Fund Drive is an important part of Clubs fundraising activities and has long been a Spring tradition in Redding. The Fund Drive provides a significant part of the overall operating funds of the Club and helps to minimize activity fees. The Fund Drive also helps to build community awareness and support for Club programs. This Saturday, May 10th is the RBGC Annual Fund Drive and Baseball/Softball PHOTO DAY. The photo day schedule has been posted online, please make necessary arrangements to attend. Our goal is to have each team drive a route with some/all of their team. Here's how it works.
* Coach/Manager is responsible for organizing their team players and parents to participate
* A parent volunteer picks (or is assigned) a route to cover on May 10th at the RCC. Each driver will receive a Fund Drive packet with their route description & map, contribution tally sheet, a supply of receipts and a sample script to go over with the children.
* The team meets at RCC, Community Room for pictures, in uniforms (Schedule Online)
* The volunteer driver takes some children and completes their route collecting donations.
* They return to RCC and turn in their donations.
Routes will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
Our goal is to have each team take a route. With that being said, we understand that coaches and parents alike have time constraints that may prohibit their ability to participate. In the past, many teams that could not participate have opted to "pass the hat" and make a team donation. Please understand that this is only a suggestion and is in no way an imposed fee for such teams that can not take a route. We appreciate your continued support of our programs and hope that you will be able to make this year the best one yet.
Please email Kim Taylor -
with the name and email of your volunteer driver ASAP so that preparations can be made and teams properly organized.
Thank you for making this our most successful Fund Drive ever! | | | | | | |

Redding, Connecticut, March 13th 2008 – Aaron Kaufman is a true example of an extraordinary young man. At age 18, he has just been selected as the Youth of the Year for the Jesse P. Sanford Boys & Girls Club of Redding. Kaufman is among hundreds of local Youth of the Year winners across the country recognized by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for his sound character, leadership skills and willingness to give back to the community.
Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. The title recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles overcome. This program was founded over 60 years ago through the generosity of the Reader’s Digest Foundation.

off the start of their sneaker collection for the Nike
Reuse-A-Shoe program.
Members of 6th grade Girl Scout Troop 50252 will be
collecting sneakers for the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program
during the entire month of April. This is a program
that chops up sneakers, purifies them, and uses them
to resurface athletic tracks and playgrounds. You can
help by donating your old sneakers and placing them in
the donation bin in the RBGC Pavilion. There will also
be donation bins at the Redding Recycling Center, the
Redding Community Center, Joel Barlow High School,
John Read Middle School, and Redding Elementary
School.
Troop 50252 is working with the Reuse-A-Shoe program
in order to earn their Bronze Award, the highest award
that can be earned by Junior Girl Scouts. For more
information about the girl’s project, you can contact
their Girl Scout leader Sarah Ota, at
