Welcome to issue #57 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed.
Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including the history of Pride Month, LEGOs, drum patterns, album cover art, and Pokémon.
Also, there will be free COVID-19 testing today, June 11, at Washington Park Mall in Roxbury. Click here to learn more.
