2022-2023 Lucky’s Lobsters Swim Evaluation Information
The most updated swim team information can always be found on our Lucky’s Lobsters page.
All swimmers interested in participating in Lucky’s Lobsters must attend one evaluation session. Coaches have not seen the swimmers for nine months, so it’s important that both new AND returning swimmers attend one session. A parent or caregiver should attend with the child to learn about the program and ask questions. The evaluation will last one hour or less. Pre-registration is not required, and swimmers should only attend once.
Membership is not required for evaluations. However, if you are a returner and know you will participate, regardless of practice time or placement, please complete your online membership using the MyClubHub parent portal. Learn how to do that on our Main Clubhouse page and make a plan to attend an upcoming orientation, which is required of both new and returning Club members.

New Summer Program!
James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club is excited to announce a new program for July and August of 2021.
TEAM Summer will focus on supporting young people as they re-engage and reconnect after a challenging year. The goal of the program is to support the social-emotional needs of youth & teens and to curb summer learning loss.
Families can sign up to attend in either July OR August (not both).
Registration begins on Monday, May 3, 2021, at 7:00 a.m.
James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn has been continuously changing its programs and outreach services for more than twelve months now. Here’s an overview of what we have been up to over the past year.
Spring 2020: VIRTUAL CLUBHOUSE & HOME DELIVERIES. The Club shut down on Friday, March 13, 2020 due to the public health crisis. Nearly immediately, staff members launched a virtual Clubhouse where peers could gather with trusted staff members five days per week to do art projects, workouts, and more. Additionally, on a weekly basis staff members delivered groceries, educational materials, hygiene products and more to the doorsteps of our most vulnerable families.
Summer 2020: CAMP IN A BOX & SUMMER ENRICHMENT. During the first week of July, our LEAP Childcare teachers welcomed back one classroom of our preschool and pre-K students with open arms (from a distance!). We offered a limited in-person morning program for eight weeks, and also offered eight weeks of a virtual Camp in a Box program for our Club members.
September – March 2020-2021: SUPERVISED LEARNING CENTER. In September 2020, our LEAP Childcare program opened its second classroom and welcomed back even more students. Additionally, we partnered with Woburn Public Schools, the North Suburban Y and the City of Woburn to create a Supervised Learning Center for Woburn Students. We retrofitted our Clubhouse to become a virtual school where students most in need could attend on their virtual school days. In addition to receiving assistance with their schoolwork, students are served two meals and a snack each day.
Now, as students plan to return to school full time in April 2021, we must transition once again and do what is needed to support the well being of our members while keeping health and safety as a top priority. We anticipate opening some afterschool activities at our satellite locations as well as at the Clubhouse.
We hope you will consider supporting our important work as we begin planning this next phase of our reopening. Thank you for your understanding and your generosity!
Although the annual St. Patrick’s Day Social at the James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn was called off yet again due to health and safety concerns around the ongoing public health crisis, the organization’s 2021 Pot of Gold raffle was a huge success!
The Club sold $100 raffle tickets for four months, beginning just before Thanksgiving. Raffle proceeds support the ongoing operations at the Boys & Girls Club, supporting children, teenagers, and their families throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting at Christmas, $1,000 was given away every Wednesday leading right up to St. Patrick’s Day.
This week, the winning ticket for the grand prize of $20,000 was pulled on March 17, 2021 at the Boys & Girls Club and shown live on Facebook. The winner was ticket #1457, belonging to Torrice Company.
Torrice Company President Stephen Torrice shocked Executive Director Julie Gage when he told her “We would like to donate all the winnings back to the Club”!
“We know how difficult this year has been and hope this donation helps the Club prepare to welcome the kids back”. Torrice Company has always been proud to support the JLMBGC.
James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn wishes to thank all those in the community who supported its annual raffle, the largest and most impactful fundraiser of the year. And, save the date for Saturday, March 12, 2022 when we hope to gather back in person at the Club to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day to benefit the kids & teens in our community!
