Carol Milgard“Gary and I felt very strongly about the powerful things that could change the lives of children if the whole community would get behind the effort. We were looking for the right cause to support. I remember clearly my first visit to one of the Clubs, mainly because I wasn’t sure I even wanted to be there. Wow, was I ever wrong! What an eye opener I got! I went to open the door and four children ran out the door going to the play field. Out came one, two, three and then the fourth little boy saw me. He came to a dead halt and looked at his friends and then at me and back and forth. Finally he stopped and held the door and said, ‘Welcome to our Club.’ If he only knew what an impression he made with that gesture. Gary and I had been talking for a year about what we could do for kids. After the little boy and touring the club that day, I went home so excited and told Gary I knew exactly the program we should support. There began our love for the Boys & Girls Clubs.” ~Carol Milgard The Tenant Spotlight community of Hope. |
