Tasha Metzler

Tasha Metzler, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Western Lane County, is deeply rooted in the Florence community where she was born and raised. A proud former Club kid herself, her leadership represents a true full-circle moment—giving back to the very place that shaped her childhood.

After returning home in 2019 to be close to family and embrace her favorite role as “Auntie,” Tasha quickly immersed herself in community service. In 2021, alongside two fellow moms, she rechartered Cub Scout Pack 777 for the first time in over 20 years. She also serves on the Rhododendron Court Executive Team and is an active member of the Delta Gamma Philanthropy Group.

In addition to her nonprofit and volunteer leadership, Tasha is the owner of Events by Metz, where she brings her love of planning and decorating to life through creative, memorable experiences. Her passion for building community extends into her personal life as well—she founded a vibrant book club that provides a safe space for readers to connect and share stories.

Outside of her work, Tasha enjoys reading, hiking, and strength training, and can often be found exploring the magic of Disney—whether on her annual girls’ trip or sharing the joy with her two dogs, Gus Gus and Jaq.

Tasha officially joined the Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors in January 2025 before stepping into the role of CEO. She is excited to lead the organization into its next chapter, carrying forward the Club’s mission to empower young people, strengthen families, and inspire a brighter future for Western Lane County.

Charnae Decker

Charnae Decker is the new Athletic Director for the Boys & Girls Club of Western Lane County, proudly serving her hometown of Florence, Oregon. A lifelong athlete and passionate advocate for youth sports, she brings nearly two decades of coaching experience and a deep commitment to the community. A standout three-sport varsity athlete and team captain at Siuslaw High School, she was honored as Outstanding Female Athlete, Outstanding Female Girl, and Florence Future First Citizen. She continued her athletic career at Pacific University, competing in both volleyball and softball.

Before joining the Boys & Girls Club, Charnae spent 13 years as a public school teacher, beginning at Jewell School, where she was named Casco League Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2009. After returning to Florence in 2011 with her husband, she taught and coached in the Mapleton School District and later at Siuslaw Middle School, where she transitioned from coaching high school varsity teams to volunteering with local youth sports programs. Over the years, she has coached everything from varsity volleyball, basketball, and softball to T-ball, Rookies, and various youth volleyball and softball leagues—always with the same passion, dedication, and joy.

Charnae and her husband of 15 years, Adam, are raising their six children—ages 4 through 12—in the Florence community they both love. For the past five years, she has homeschooled her children, bringing the same energy, structure, and heart into her home as she brings to her work with young athletes.

As Athletic Director, she is honored to lead programs that empower kids through sports, build confidence, and create lasting community connections. She is excited to expand opportunities for young athletes and to inspire the next generation through teamwork, discipline, and a lifelong love of both play and competition.

Wren Lewis

Growing up in Florence Wren always wanted to give back to the students in the area. After graduating from Siuslaw in ’04 he would go on to coach various sports at various levels as well as a volunteer or running youth groups for the past 20 years. Wren found out working with students would be his passion as he started to be a camp counselor at 15 and still now is a counselor at camps and works at outdoor schools with a camp outside of Cottage Grove. With a previous stint at Boys and Girls Club he is ecstatic to be back to create a safe and fun place for the teens of Florence.
