I think Prince William County / Manassas Boys and Girls Club Regional Director Glenn Vickers said it best at the Steak ‘N Stake awards dinner on Friday night – children in Prince William County and surrounding area will be out of school in in a week and they’re going to need a place to spend their summer.
As the weather gets hotter, for us reporters, that means covering more stories involving accidents, crime, and possibly even some unfortunate incidents involving children. But, as a product of the Boys and Girls Club, I know children who have their minds engaged, those who are involved, those who are active, and children who take an active role in their communities are more likely to have a more rewarding summer and are less likely to appear in unfortunate news stories. While there’s no scientific proof, its common knowledge children who are properly cared for do better.
We can help our children have a better summer this year, and you can help me “Send a Kid to Camp” by donating what you can – even a few dollars – to our online donation drive. We don’t ask for much here, and we certainly don’t charge you to read the news on our site, but we owe it to ourselves to help a children in our community have a better summer, learn a new craft or skill, set out on a field trip, meet new faces, and to have a positive place to learn and grow before school starts again in the fall.
