Paulden Plunge News!

After quite the delay, we are now in our second week of the Plunge.  The children are enjoying their trips to the pool.  We have 68 children enrolled at this time.  It’s not too late to enroll.  We accept enrollments throughout the program because families go on vacation, etc., so it seems to work out that all can have opportunities to get to the pool.  It’s always a pleasure to see entire families making the trip.  This is good family fun and we are so happy that we can be a part of supporting family activities.  If you’d like to support this program, tax deductible donations can be made via the donate button and designate it for Paulden Plunge.  Thank you!! 

Summer Lunch Week 2, 2022

What a great week!  We have served 282 meals in two weeks.  Thank you to all the families who join us.  It’s so great to have a place for the children to also gather and play.  The Paulden Community School has a shaded playground area with trees and it’s a wonderful place for them to get out their energy as well as get some nourishment.  We’re looking forward to next week and possibly some new faces.  Help us to let others know about this program right here in Paulden.   As you know, it’s difficult to get the word out, so please pass the word to those who could benefit from a meal.  We’re so grateful to Paulden School for partnering with us in this service to our community.  There are no income qualifications for this program, no age restrictions, just free meals.  Join us!

Summer Lunch Week 1, 2022

Summer Lunch Week 1 2022It was so great to see some familiar faces and welcome new faces to the Summer Lunch program this past week.  We just wanted to say how much we enjoy you and your familiies.  The children have had fun playing on the playground while they wait for lunch or after they eat.  Two individual families found us who literally just moved to Paulden last week.  We were so happy to be able to welcome them and give their children opportunities to begin to make new friends and adjust to their new community.  Summer Lunch is so much more than a meal.  It has worked really well for the families to come and eat and then head on over to the Paulden Library for afternoon programs this past week and we are so happy about that.  We look forward to meeting more of you next week. 

Paulden Plunge Delayed

Good afternoon friends and neighbors!  We received word last night (6/3/22) that the CV Pool will not be opening today as planned due to mechanical issues.  There is no estimated time of opening.  https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=419513826848267&set=a.262382512561400  We are so disappointed, but we will have to postpone the Plunge until the issue is resolved.  Please watch our Facebook page for information as it develops.  For those of you who have already registered and who have reserved rides, we are still processing your registrations and we will cancel rides on a day by day basis until the pool opens.  If you have not registered but still want to, please go ahead and register so that once we can start the program you will be able to join in.   Summer Lunch and Paulden Library programs will continue as scheduled.  There’s still plenty to do in Paulden for the kids this month so be sure to bring them out for lunch and to the library.  It’s been great to see you at lunch and we hope to see you again soon.

Summer 2022

It is with great excitement and pleasure that we announce that finally after two years we are once again going to be able to serve the Paulden community with summer activities for the children.  Please watch this site as well as our Facebook page for all the details.  We are still forming the plans and dates are yet to be determined.  It looks as though we will have Paulden Plunge, Summer Lunch, and Summer Backpack programs.  Stay tuned …. 

Summer 2019

Here we are again at the beginning of another great summer.  Paulden Plunge program registration starts in May.  We have enjoyed serving Paulden families in the summers past and are looking forward to another fun season with Paulden families.  
Last year’s program was very successful.  We had 92 children enrolled with over 400 rides to the pool during the 10 weeks of the program. Partnering with Yavapai Regional Transit and the Town of Chino Valley has been a really good thing for the families of Paulden. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with them. Please be sure to tell them thank you also. We also want to say thank you to each individual, business, and organization that sponsors this program so our children can enjoy the pool and have something fun to do with their time out from school.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this or other local summer programs, please contact us.  Watch for updates on things for your children to do during their summer break.  
If you would like to assist in replenishing the funds used for this year’s program so that next year can start strong, donations can be made at our website and designated for Paulden Plunge at any time.
Watch for more information coming soon about the Plunge and Summer Lunch programs.
Thank you!

Summer 2018

Well, another year is on the books. Paulden Plunge program officially ended today. We have enjoyed serving Paulden families this summer. It’s a bittersweet day. We’re very tired and ready for a break, but will miss seeing all the smiling faces of the children. But, next year will be here before we know it.
