Boys And Girls Club Kicks Off Capital Campaign

The Saint John Boys and Girls Club off to a good start as they look to raise 750 thousand dollars for programs and services. 

So far 375,000 dollars in donations have come in from various organizations. 

Campaign co-chair David Merrithew tells CHSJ News the staff does an excellant job with the budget that they have, but the Club needs money to pay for the upkeep of the building and new activities for the kids. 

He says the money will be used for things like new playground equipment, a new music room and new gym walls.

Merrithew says in 2010 the Boys and Girls Club had 110 thousand child visits, so it's a very well used facility.
