Boys and Girls Club

Greetings ECEN

Last meeting we talked about sponsoring kids at the Boys and Girls club so here is all of the details. This summer the Boys and Girls club will run a 9 week program for 35 to 40 kids. The cost for the summer is 80 dollars per week per child which comes to 720 dollars for one child for the summer. The program runs from 8am to around 6pm with three meals for the kids as well as programs all day. I will have biographies with pictures for some of the kids if you would like one let me know and we will find a way to get you one. Tell you congregation that they can make their checks out to Boys and Girls club of the Trident area. Once you have collected all of the checks you can send them to Mount Pleasant Presbyterian and just make a note on the envelope that it should be given to missions and we will make sure they get to the Boys and Girls Club.
