To the editor: My grandchildren are members of the Boys & Girls Club of Lanier – Tim Lee Club. They attended last summer and had so much fun interacting with other kids their age and taking some out-of-town trips; two of those were the aquarium in Atlanta and the zoo in Hartwell. They also went to the movies here in town a couple of times which they loved. The club provides activities that are fun and also mentor/tutor those who need it.
I am proud this organization has come to our area and I appreciate their many activities to help children who would in some cases be unable to do these things.
Parents who are employed need care for their children in the summer, too. There, they are fed and taken care of for a nominal fee or free in some cases.
Since school has started back, the bus brings them from school to the club where they have an opportunity to get assistance with homework if needed as well as socialize with other students and friends. Thanks!
