All are invited to open the door and take a tour as the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club celebrates National Boys & Girls Club week with open houses and activities that begin Wednesday.

The events are free.

The Vaca Pena Middle School site, 200 Keith Way, Portable 42, is the site of a barbecue and games from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. Those who attend should enter from Nut Tree Road.

Opened as a pilot program, Vaca Pena Club members are maxing out the portable and engaging in activities that channel their energy into positive pursuits. Seventy percent of the middle schoolers who attend Vaca Pena and Trower Center are achieving a 3.0 grade-point average or better, said a Boys & Girls Club press release.
