Boys and Girls Club of Plantersville

Gloria, the mayor of Plantersville, sends the following information:



The mayor, board of aldermen and women and community leaders are working with the Boys and Girls Club to establish a first. Most of the clubs are in much larger towns and cities. I have been working with the staff at the BGC since May to lay the foundation of what could be the first such club in a rural area. Many of the children and youth in our town and outlying areas need the nurture and support that was automatic when we were growing up. I intend to do everything that I can to make this happen. Local ministers and community businesses and leaders are attempting to match a very generous donation of $20,000 pledged by Walter Fleishacker, owner of Northeast Metal Processors, as start up money. There is grant money available but it is not advised to depend completely on this. Would you please pass the word and consider a donation, either in memory of someone that meant a lot to you growing up, or in honor of someone as a Christmas gift? If you are interested, please pass this along to others that I may not reach. Please contact me on my cell phone (662-213-0077) or by e-mail: shollands@comcast.net. We don't actually have a specific bank account yet, so a check would need to be made out to Town of Plantersville and earmarked for the Boys and Girls Club. I look forward to hearing from a lot of people.

Thanks,
