KIPS BAY BOYS & GIRLS CLUB2005 Annual Report

The Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club helps close to 12,000 members achieve their dreams. For some, it is as simple ashaving a stronger sense of sportsmanship and being in better shape thanks to activities such as dance instruction,swimming competitions, and our football and baseball teams. For others, it is as broad as a better life throughincreased self-esteem, character, and leadership development. Still other dreams reach farther, for a better com-munity, which they contribute to by learning the importance of volunteerism and giving back. Other members goon to secure a better education thanks to after-school tutoring and SAT prep courses and scholarship programs.Others find that they have stronger families, as parents become more involved in their children’s development andgrowth.

With the construction of the new West Bronx unit and the opening of two new area locations, Throgs Neck andCastle Hill, we at Kips Bay look forward to another year of positively impacting even more lives. It is our hope thateach of you will know the difference your support makes.

On behalf of our children, I thank you.

Dear Friends:

This past year has produced many new events and experiences which havebrought a new level of excitement and media visibility to our Club. Just in the monthof August, Mayor Michael Bloomberg came to Kips Bay for a parents forum and JoeTorre, manager of the New York Yankees, gave a 3 hour baseball coaching clinic atthe Club. At the request of the City of New York Kips Bay also took over, in the nearby Castle Hill community, a Boys & GirlsClub and a senior center previously run by the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club. We are currently in serious discussions withBlimpie, a world-wide fast food company, for Kips Bay to own and have operated by its children, an on-site Blimpie franchise,generating profits for Kips Bay and affording future job opportunities for former Kips Bay children at other Blimpie franchises.

In the month of September, the New York City Housing Authority opened a new 18,000-square-foot community center at theirThrogs Neck Houses, for which Kips Bay submitted the winning proposal to operate as a new club house. This year we willfinally start working on our new West Bronx site, and expect to be providing services to more than 15,000 children per yearwhen that site becomes operational. More recently, we arranged with Thom Filicia, one of our Show House designers and astar of NBC’s and Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” to help Kips Bay plan and host a party in early April for youngerdesigners and guests in Soho as part of a longer term plan to produce new fans of our annual Show House.

We held the second annual “President’s Preview,” an exclusive pre-opening viewing of the Show House, designed to allow themore highly motivated Kips Bay fans to view the Show House in a quiet and less crowded environment, providing them witha real opportunity to enjoy the finer details of the House and to engage in quality discussions with the individual designers.The Preview was followed by a dinner honoring the designers. Thom Filicia, one of this year’s Show House designers, servedas Master of Ceremonies, with Kips Bay bringing in top talent from its own “K Company” to entertain the dinner guests.

The new West Bronx Clubhouse, the Throgs Neck operation, the additional programs run in the Sports Complex, the newBlimpie franchise, and all of the programs and staff needed to operate these additional facilities will require substantial fund-ing, making your generous support more important than ever. Please dig down deep, spread the word, and boast proudlyabout what your Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club does for the children of the City of New York, year in and year out.

We continue to be the best as well as the best-known Boys & Girls Club in the United States, and, I personally believe, thebest youth organization anywhere. Nonetheless, we continue to depend heavily on the support of all of you, the generous bene-factors, patrons, and friends and remain proud of these achievements and grateful for your help!

Sincerely,

Frederic R. CoudertPresident

WHAT’S AHEAD

CAMP SEBAGO

For many years the time-honored benefits of sleepaway campingwere available to Kips Bay youngsters. Sadly, in the 1980’s,we had to relinquish Camp Valhalla. But very recently ruralcamping has been reborn at Kips Bay with the acquisition ofCamp Sebago in Harriman State Park for use beginning insummer 2006.

Only one hour from the Palmaro Clubhouse in the Bronx, ouryoungsters will arrive to a pristine bucolic lakeside setting.They will find rustic cabins, hiking trails, soaring eagles,azure skies, a lake jumping with fish, and down the road abrisk walk , sunny and sandy Lake Sebago Beach.

They will find all of this…and more. There will be new friends,new experiences and wider horizons… all under the guidanceof firm and caring counselors and professional staff.

WEST BRONX CLUBHOUSE

The West Bronx community of Morris Heights will be thelocation of Kips Bay’s 11th service venue when our futureClubhouse at 1835 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd opens in late2007. A complete capital renovation will transform anabandoned house of worship into a five-story 28,000-square-foot 21st Century Boys & Girls Club.

Nearby Morris Heights Health Center has been allocated spacewithin the building, from which health screenings and educationwill be offered to club members and their families. Theseservices will expand Kips Bay’s health programming, whichcurrently includes an on-site dental clinic at the PalmaroClubhouse, and the incorporation of obesity prevention con-tent into physical education programming.

Our commitment to technology programming is also apparentin the future clubhouse which has been designed as a state-of-the art facility for technology. It will be a “best practices”laboratory for Boys & Girls Club technology programming forgenerations to come.
