Boston Globe Community Care Day
On October 20th the Boys and Girls Club will team with volunteers from The Boston Globe to take part in their Annual Neighbor to Neighbor Day event. The Boston Globe, which reaches out to local non-profits in need of volunteer activities each Fall will return to the Club where last year they helped paint rooms in the Paul R. McLaughlin Clubhouse. This year volunteers from the company will take part in the event which will be spent painting the Pre-School Classroom in the Marr Clubhouse. We thank the employee volunteers for committing the time needed to complete this project and to The Boston Globe for their ongoing support of the Boys and Girls Club.
