Alumni - True Measure of Success
Bill Cosby… Alex Rodriguez... Brad Pitt… Michael Jordan… President Clinton… Jackie Joyner-Kersee… Martin Sheen… Derek Jeter… Neil Diamond… Denzel Washington.

What do all of these people, and millions more throughout America, have in common? They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

While many Club alumni have achieved particular distinction in fields such as entertainment, business, politics and sports, the average alumnus is not famous. Most have achieved success by getting an education, raising a family, serving their country, pursuing a career or supporting the community.

Millions have benefited from belonging to a Boys & Girls Club since the first Club opened its doors in 1860. Based on research by Louis Harris & Associates, Club alumni have very strong feelings about their individual Club experiences:

• 80% said Club staff helped them learn right from wrong
• 95% indicated the Club was the best thing available in their community
• 52% said participating in the Club "saved my life"
  

Whether you belonged to the "Boys Club" or the "Boys & Girls Club," COME ON HOME to today's Boys & Girls Clubs of America -- "The Positive Place For Kids!"

Although the Columbia Club is only four years old, we know there are Alumni from other clubs living here and we would love to hear from you. Let us know who you are, where you live now and what you are doing. We will send you a free "COME ON HOME" Alumni Kit, including an alumni card and promotional offers just for Club alumni.

So give us a shout at theclub@bgc-columbia.org.
