The Club in Dayton Looking to Add Services for Waitsburg Students

DAYTON—The Club is interested in expanding its program to give Waitsburg students the opportunity to attend its after school program. Several Waitsburg students attended the Club’s Summer Program and expressed interest in the ability to attend the after-school program, as well. With enough interest,The Club is hoping to run a one-month trial in collaboration with Columbia County Public Transportation, wherein The Club would cover the cost of bus passes for Waitsburg students.

If successful, The Club would make every effort to continue the program through the end of the school year. Director Jim Pearson remarked, “We feel strongly that The Club is a service of and for the Touchet Valley, and not just Dayton. We would very much like to ensure that Waitsburg students have the same access to our services as Dayton and Starbuck students, who currently benefit from a bus provided by their respective school districts.”

The cost of the after-school program is just $20.00 for the entire school year, and the program operates on school days until 6:00 p.m. More info about The Club can be found at www.theclubdayton.org.

Those interested in this service are urged to fill out a very brief survey. Feedback on this survey could determine whether the Club moves ahead with this initiative. Additionally, direct any questions you might have to Jim Pearson, The Club’s Director, by phone at 509-204-3146, or by email at director@theclubdayton.org.
