| Painting Pumpkins At Boys and Girls Club |
We were able to give helping hand to the Potter County
Boys and Girls Club, allowing it to avoid shutting down in mid-October. The
commissioners advanced $5,000 to the after-school center. Funds will be
returned to the county’s coffers once the state budget impasse has been
resolved. Action came in response to a plea from club administrator Sherry Page
and board president George Dubots, who revealed that the organization was on
the brink of closing the doors at its headquarters
in north Coudersport. The temporary infusion should keep the club operating at
least until Thanksgiving. Boys and Girls Club provides help with homework, arts
and crafts, cooking, healthy snacks and physical activities to kids in grades
K-8. Membership for the current school year has more than doubled from 2014-15,
to 15 children. Officials continue to plan for establishment of local clubs in
other Potter County communities.
