CLUB NEWSLETTER August 2025

As we gear up for a new school year, we’re excited to launch our Back to School Campaign! Now, we’re getting ready for another new school year! If you’ve registered already for the summer – you’re set! If you’re not, it’s never to late to renew or register. We’ve had an AMAZING summer at the Club filled with hands-on learning through our Brain Gain program and unforgettable field trips that created lasting memories for our youth. Every child has played a part in making this summer one of our best yet. Make sure your child has a safe, fun, and enriching place to go before and after school. Register online now for the 2025–2026 school year or at your local Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley clubhouse!

Night in the Country Highlights Local Youth

The enthusiastic crowds rolled in and The Grange was buzzing with excitement and we may be a little biased, but some of the best moments of the weekend came from our very own Club kids!From Clarisa and Spirit’s singing of the National Anthem to Reese hyping up the crowd with his epic event swag toss, our youth showed up!  Kids from across age groups—ELC to Keystone—represented the Club with pride and let festivalgoers see exactly where their support is going, to amazing, local young people doing big things. Huge thanks to all our youth, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who made this year’s Night in the Country unforgettable!

The Latest from Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley!

Riley, from our Silver Springs clubhouse, is our member of the month. Riley is not only one of our junior staff, but he’s been apart of the club for 8 years and he’s been nothing but respectful and a role model! Riley does everything he can to help staff with programming and cleaning without hesitation! The energy he brings to the club motivates both members and staff and we’re so proud of his drive and leadership! Continued growth is a big part of what makes our Clubs such awesome places to learn, laugh, and thrive. That’s why all Clubhouses will be closed August 28–29 as our full team dives into an all-staff workshop to gear up to deliver the best before and after school programs yet. Thanks for your support as we keep growing right alongside our kids!   Join us at The Grange on September 5th for our very first Harvest Concert featuring longtime friend of the Club, Phil Vassar! This family-friendly, community-focused event is the perfect way to soak up the late summer sun. Grab your friends, pack the lawn chairs, and come enjoy some amazing country music under the Nevada sky. Don’t wait, tickets on sale now! Club members, get your discounted $15 tickets at your local clubhouse! From Wild Island to the Walker River State Recreation Area and Reno Aces games, our Club members have been soaking up the sun and staying active all summer long! But don’t think we’re wrapping things up just yet—there’s still more field trips, more sunshine, and more fun on the horizon. We’re not done until we’ve made this the best summer ever!

About Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley

For 27 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley has served youth in rural Northern Nevada. With clubhouses in Yerington, Silver Springs, Dayton and Hawthorne, the Club offers opportunities that youth in these areas can’t get anywhere else. With caring staff and enriching programming, our more than 1,500 members make new friends, grow, and learn daily!

The Club isn’t a babysitting service. It’s a safe, fun and enriching place for kids and teens to go every day before and after school and during school breaks. We focus on five key areas of programming: The Arts, Education, Health & Wellness, Sports & Recreation and Leadership & Service. With more than 15 programs covering these five areas, kids and teens can learn many skills they need to become caring and productive members of society. Smart Moves teaches the importance of drug and alcohol prevention, Power Hours provides the help and time kids need to complete their homework, and Triple Play helps our members get active and lead healthy lives.

We started in 1998, serving a handful of kids in a single room on Main Street in Yerington. Over the last 25 years, our services and organization have expanded tremendously! A few highlights from our time include

• Night in the Country began in 2002
• Expanded to Silver Springs in 2009
• Expanded to Dayton in 2010
• Saw 1,000 annual members for the first time in 2010
• Expanded to Hawthorne in 2016
• The Club Teen Center opened in 2018
• Our Dayton clubhouse opened in 2020
• The E. L. Wiegand Early Learning Center opened in 2023

Everything we do is made possible by our incredible donors, supporters, volunteers and, yes, NIGHT IN THE COUNTRY FANS! Every Pass, campsite or piece of merch you buy directly supports 1,500 kids, teens and their families, including the more than 500 we see every day. We would not have the festival or the Club we have today without the support of some key partners, including Peri & Sons Farms, the Reviglio family and Circle Bar N Ranch, Western Nevada Supply, Lyon County, Toyota, and many more. For decades, we’ve been on land generously lended to us by Peris, Reviglios and the Lyon County Fair Board. They allowed us to grow and expand to fit so many of you. They’re also all amazing supporters of our Club, and have been for years. The Peri and Reviglio families have been on our board of directors since our inception, and have donated land, equipment, work and dollars to help Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley serve as many youth as we can.

You are making great futures possible. Thank you for your decades of support!
