SEQUIM — The future looks sketchy for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, staffer Stephen Rosales said, while helping prepare the Sequim unit for the new school year that starts in Sequim today.

“The club’s in trouble financially. We’re worried,” said Rosales, who’s volunteered at the club at 400 W. Fir St. for more than two years.

Bob Schilling, executive director of the clubs’ Sequim and Port Angeles units, added: “We’ve had to adjust the budget, because of the economy . . . People have stopped giving as much,” in donations.

Fiscal 2008’s budget totals $1.1 million this year for the Sequim club and the Port Angeles unit at 2620 S. Francis St. That pays a staff of 32, only eight of whom work full time, Schilling said.
