Children, families, educators, community leaders, policy makers, celebrities and others across the country are making plans to gather in schools, community centers, parks, malls, state capitols and elsewhere on October 21 for the 11th annual Lights on Afterschool. The only nationwide rally for after school programs is organized by the Afterschool Alliance. It is expected to include some 7,500 events across the United States and at U.S. military bases worldwide this year.
The Canton Unit BGCCM will be sponsoring an Open House for Lights on Afterschool 2010. Members are creating artistic light bulbs in honor of this day. These light bulbs will be sent to Canton Mississippi’s city hall to be displayed for the community to see. The Mayor of this wonderful city will be asked to issue a proclamation for the Canton Unit Boys & Girls Club. The day will end with refreshments and beverages.
