BOYS WELCOME GIRLS

The transition will become official with the unveiling of the new signs at the Club’s 1037 East Main Street location. The ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be followed by a celebration cocktail party at the Villa Rosa.

   Robert Generali, the Club’s fourth executive director in the Club’s 118 year history, said “The Club has been servicing girls for a few years but has been unable to make the official change until the facilities were upgraded. Locker rooms and bathrooms had to be renovated to service girls; although programs have supported the servicing of both boys & girls for some time.”

   McGrath said the change is “more than symbolic; besides adopting our new name to align with our national Boys & Girls Clubs organizations to which we belong, the change will allow the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Waterbury to seek funding on a broader scale.”

   The sign unveiling on November 10, 2006 at 5:30 p.m. will include city and state officials, board members, Club members, Club alumni and families of our members. For tickets or information regarding this historic event please contact Robert Generali at 203-756-8111.
