Ensure a Welcoming Experience: Visitors are welcomed into an atmosphere of hospitality, exemplary service, and friendly interaction.
Why will this program be successful?: 
We have expandeded what used to be LEGO club into an over all building club- One reason for this is to allow for choices to include those who may not necessarily be interested in LEGOS, but still enjoy the building experience, another reason is that we have the resources, so we might as well put them to use, and another is that often participants combine materials to create new things beyond what they could do with only one type of block.
How will success be measured/determined?: 
Attendance feedback- spoken and observed.
