Nature of Business: The Boys and Girls Club was started in 1958. In February or March of 2009 it will have a 50th-anniversary celebration. The club's mission is "to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to become caring, responsible, and productive citizens." "We average about 125 kids here every day," says Tom Mason. "Our job is to teach them respect. We do a lot of mentoring and also help them with homework when they need it. Our after-school program costs the kids and parents only $25 per school year."
