The summer is flying by and before we know it the kids will be back at school. But not before the Club hosts an end of summer party to rival all end of summer parties – EVER! Once again, the Angel of Tahoe, Lisa Maloff is kindly hosting the event, which this year will be held from 10am to 4pm on FRIDAY 24th AUGUST at our main Club Site (1100 Lyon's Ave).
From 1997 to 2008, peanut allergies in children more than tripled in the USA and no-one knows why.

It is true that idle hands or minds can lead to trouble, but even more importantly, idle minds can result in a decrease in educational attainment. Studies have indicated that a child that does no academics over the summer will take until Halloween to be back at their pre-summer level. Here at the Club we do an hour of 'Brain Gain' every day of the summer. Simple, fun but educational activities that focus on reading and math. Doing Brain Gain ensures that our members retain all their learning from the prior school year and start the new year ready for the next level.
