John & Linda Lyche Club

JOHN & LINDA'S LEGACY
John and Linda Lyche have always placed a strong focus on trying to make their community a better place. With Linda spending much of her career as a teacher and school psychologist, it's no surprise that helping youth is one of their main passions.
In talking with friends, and learning of the need to provide more opportunities for youth in Onalaska, John and Linda were immediately intrigued. They have always been supportive of the Boys & Girls Club, so it was no stretch for them to consider lending a helping hand to create a new Club in Onalaska. What started out as a small conversation amongst friends, has quickly become a reality.
We are all very excited to open the doors to the John & Linda Lyche Club and help give kids the future they deserve.
