I think the Club means more to the families than they realize. Now they have computers and homework help in addition to the activities they had when I was there. And now they have pool tables. We had ping-pong tables — I even won the 9th grade ping-pong championship at my junior high school. All because of, what was then, the Boys Club.

And parents can get assurance from knowing that their children are in a safe, wholesome, positive place. There’s a lot of satisfaction, knowing they can depend on the Club and not have to worry about where their children are and what they’re doing.
