MATT JONES PRAISES VOLUNTEERS DURING

FSBGC AWARDS BANQUET NFL wide receiver Matt Jones was the featured guest at the 2007 FSBGC Awards Banquet on March 14. Jones is a former star quarterback for the Arkansas Razorbacks and was a Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club member while in elementary school. Jones was a first round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2005.

Jones talked about the importance of volunteers and role models at youth organizations like the Boys & Girls Club. “Back when I was in 6th grade, I played basketball at the Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club” Jones said. His long time friend Phil Smith assisted Jones in a question & answer session from the

audience. Phil Smith is a volunteer basketball coach at the Evans unit. When Jones was asked which quarterback on the Jaguars he prefers, he just smiled and said “whoever throws the ball the most!” Jones set an all-time SEC rushing record for quarterbacks, while playing at Arkansas. He was also a member of the Razorback basketball team, playing one season for Nolan Richardson and one season for Stan Heath. Northside High coach Johnny Mason introduced Jones to the crowd of 240 attendees. Jones played his 12th grade season for Mason at Northside. Mason, who guided the NHS basketball Grizzlies to a state championship during 2007, reminisced about his days as a Boys Club member and volunteer. “Clarence Higgins and Bill Norvell really made a positive difference in my life” said mason. “Iʼve used the values and fundamentals I learned at the Club to teach my players” he added. During his first two years in the NFL, Matt Jones has caught 77 passes and scored 9 touchdowns. During his Razorback career, he passed for 53 touchdowns and ran for another 24 touchdowns. Coach Jack Del Rio expects big things from Jones during the upcoming season. The Jaguars are considered one of the top teams in the NFL.

If I had 3 wishes, they would be... Opportunities appear everyday, but three wishes come once in a millennium. First I would wish for the ability to morph into any creature of my choice. Being a dragon, fi sh or even a goofy squirrel, I could have fun and escape from the stress of everyday life. Next, Iʼd try to be less selfi sh and make a world where every mentally challenged person is regular just like you and me. I feel badly when I observe people who have problems that no one can resolve. Finally, I would wish to have an intellect more massive than anyoneʼs on earth. Sometimes Iʼm confronted with problems that I canʼt solve and I want to get them over with. I could win contests and at the same time save the day through curing diseases such as cancer and AIDS. Helping the world and having fun are very important to me.by James Penney, age 10 –Goldrap-Gardner Boys & Girls Club

If I could have 3 wishes, they would be... My fi rst wish would be for people to take me for what I am and not what they want me to be. I am just 10 years old, in no way am I ready to decide what I want to be. Only God can guide me in that direction. My second wish is for my grandparents to live forever so that I can take care of them the way they have taken care of me and my little brothers and sister. My third wish is for my mother to get herself together so that she can be a mother to us and give Meme and Papa a little rest because they are devoting their time to us and need a break, but not a long one.by Asia Huff, age 10 –Jeffrey Boys & Girls Club

PROGRAM NEWS: Triple Play,Money Matters and Goals for Graduation

With support from an OJP grant through Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the FSBGC is offering three new programs at the Club this Spring: Goals for Graduation - introduces academic goal setting to members ages 6-15 by linking their future aspirations with concrete actions today. In goal-setting sessions, members set achievable “Know-I-Can” Goals, more challenging “Think-I-Can” Goals, and yearly “Believe-I-Can” goals. Members create an action plan with daily and weekly goals leading to short- and long-term gains. Staff members Roneka Jackson and Elizabeth Easter are program instructors.

Money Matters - promotes financial responsibility and independence among members ages 13-18 by building their basic money management skills. Participants learn how to manage a checking account, budget, save and invest. They also learn about starting small businesses and paying for college. Staff members Bill Martin and Steve Foot are instructors for the program.

Triple Play - a program that teaches young people about eating right, keeping fit and engaging in positive relationships. With support from the Coca-Cola Company and Kraft Foods, Triple Play implements three components that include: Mind, Body & Soul. Club members learn about the food pyramid, participate in daily fitness challenges, and have opportunity to improve social development and confidence through games, contests and activities. Staff members Tim Higgins and J.P Sonnier supervise the program.
