To most of us it’s just another ho-hum Monday.  Same job, same breakfast, same this-and-that.  At the Shelbyville Boys and Girls Club, however, it’s anything but.

Brady Claxton is the current board president of the Self Shelby County Boys and Girls Club.  He talks about director John Hartnett’s final day with retirement.

Claxton on the impact the community has felt for years from Hartnett.

Hartnett has served in a variety of capacities for numerous community organizations including: Babe Ruth Baseball, Shelbyville Central Schools, The Shelby County United Fund and the Drug-Free Coalition. He is a past president of the Indiana Boys and Girls Club Workers Association and was a founding board member of the Indiana Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs. He was inducted into The Shelbyville High School Alumni Hall of Fame in 2009 and received the 2018 Boys and Girls Clubs of America “Contribution to the Profession Award.”

And it’s that type of impact that Claxton expects will continue.

Spahr has served as director of the Self Club's Morristown satellite unit since 2013. He has previous business experience in management and has worked as a basketball coach in the Shelby Eastern Schools System. He is a retired United States Army veteran. Spahr is a former member of the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce board of directors and was honored as Morristown's outstanding citizen in 2014.

Spahr becomes only the fourth executive director in the Boys and Girls Club's 66-year history.
