Groundbreaking Ceremony Held for Boys & Girls Club

A groundbreaking was held today for the future Boys and Girls Club in Pickens County.Founder, Don Russell gave a moving speech stating part of the Boys and Girls Club mission which is

“every person who walks through the door will graduate high school with a plan for the future.”

Mr. Russell explained that the $2.3 million was an investment in the future. His estimate of completion was by the fall of next year. President of the Boys and Girls Club, John Mauldin stated one of the goals as;

“the ability of the young people to gain confidence about their life and their future.”

The new boys and girls club located behind the recreation center is a long awaited and welcome project. The boys and girls club of North Georgia was founded in 2005 and serves many children by providing safe places where children can find learning, recreation and companionship in the afternoons and evenings. Pickens County now has four after school programs and one full based program running in the summer.

The new addition will allow many more children to be provided needed services which will benefit them perhaps, their entire lives.
