History
On February 13th, 1956 The Cumberland Boys Club was founded to promote the health, social, educational, vocational, and character development of boys. The Club's name changed in 1960 to the Cumberland-Lincoln Boys Club, and the Club became a member of the United Fund in 1962. A new pool and addition were dedicated and ready for use in July, 1970. In 1974 the Hysen Chelo Memorial Field was constructed. In 1982 a capitol campaign allowed for major additions of indoor program areas. In March 1996, ground was broken for the Berkeley Village Recreational Facility with outdoor court activities. With changing times and the needs of our communities, the Boys & Girls Club of Cumberland-Lincoln now provides a well-rounded foundation for community activity, for boys, girls, men, women, and community groups. With these concepts in mind, we will continue to provide a facility, programs, and services that are integral to our communities.
