A Final Message from Bill The end of a long, long run is finally here. I am retiring from the Boys & Girls Club work after 40 years as an employee of the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Maria Valley.

The words that come to my mind to sum up my career are, THANK YOU! I would like to say: THANK YOU to the Community for all your support, all the businesses, corporations, foundations and individual donors who continue to see the need and the value of our programs.

THANK YOU to all the organizations, school districts, Cities of Santa Maria and Guadalupe that I have worked with to form great collaborations to provide programs for our youth.

THANK YOU to all the hard working Board of Directors that I have had the privilege of working under.

THANK YOU to all the Great Staff members that I have had the honor of working side by side with, day in and day out.

THANK YOU to all the parents who have entrusted the Club to make better citizens of their children.

THANK YOU to the thousands of members that have been a part of my life ad that I have seen grow to become good husbands, wives, parents and citizens of our community.

MOST OF ALL, THANK YOU to my family, who have put up with the long hours and my dedication to the Club. Without your support, I could never have made it all these years.

As the Club moves forward under the director of new Executive Director, Jeremy Deming, I foresee great things happening for the youth of our community. Please welcome Jeremy as he will bring new excitement and new ideas, and will help to take our organization to new heights to serve more kids than ever before.

The Club has been my life all these years, and like family memories, it is something I will always cherish.

THANK YOU, Bill Libbon Former Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of Santa Maria Valley
