Boys and Girls Club Addition |
|
|
The Boys and Girls Club of Fall River provides daily recreational and developmental activities for over 2,000 Fall River youth, over 5,000 youth in summer resident and day camp, and over 200 older teens and adults in their fitness programs. A new addition was completed and a ribbon-cutting held in November, 2005, but remains to be furnished and equipped to serve older youth as a fully-functioning teen center. A fund drive by the Board of Directors is currently under way. |
