Lawrence’s 14 Boys & Girls Club locations planned a week of activities to celebrate National Boys & Girls Club Week, which recognizes the organization and its place within communities across the U.S.

From Sunday through March 29, Boys & Girls Club members in Lawrence will make appreciation kits for their teachers, play Boys & Girls Club themed bingo, decorate puzzle pieces and participate in recreational activities. All of these activities represent the priorities of the organization: good character and citizenship, academic success and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Community members are encouraged to share what they love about Boys & Girls Club by using #bgclk on Twitter and Facebook. The organization is also encouraging people to visit one of the Lawrence locations on Wednesday. To arrange a visit, contact Margaret Murphy at 309-331-4787.
