Boys & Girls Club Work Party Scheduled Tonight

As reported yesterday, The Boys and Girls Club of Toccoa/Stephens County is holding a work party today, May 7, at 6 p.m, at the facility at 71 W. Whitman Street in Toccoa.

WNEG News contacted organization leadership yesterday to talk with them about the challenges the organization is facing, but they were unable to meet with us due to preparing for tonight’s event. They did ask that we remind people of the event, and encourage those who are able, to come and help prepare the facility for summer programs. 

As noted in a press release issued last week by the Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors, the local club has been managed by Boys and Girls Clubs of Lanier out of Gainesville for more than 2 years – an arrangement that will come to an end on May 24, at which time, the Toccoa-Stephens County Board of Directors and the local club will assume full responsibility for the operation of the local club. 

WNEG News will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become available.

For any additional information, contact Paula Duley at (706) 491-9141 or Willis Crump at (706) 391-3029.
