Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties will announce any weather-related delays or closures to our families on our Facebook page and on our website homepage as soon as any decisions are made. If no announcement is made, then Clubs are operating as normal.
Please be aware that not every Club site operates the same, so it is possible (due to location, time of day, weather severity, etc.) that the weather may impact Club sites differently.
Every weather incident is different, and Clubs may deviate from our procedures if necessary.
