Dear Sir or Madam
On May 8, 2004 the Boys & Girls Club of Lower Merrimack Valley raised $50,000 at our third Starry Night Auction Our goal was to raise $45,000 and we exceeded our goal and are very pleased with the night. The money will be used to continue to offer quality programming to the youth of the Lower Merrimack Valley.
We would like to thank you for your donation The Clubs tax identification number is 04-34741 14 and we would like to acknowledge that there were no goods or services exchanged for this fl. The support of the communities that we serve has been fantastic. The Boys &Girls Club of Lower Merrimack Valley is a non-profit organization. All funds are raised through grants, fundraisers, dues, program fees, individuals and corporate donations. The Club receives no state or local funding.
On September 17, 2001 sixteen members came through the doors and participated in quality programs. Within five days membership was up to forty members, with an average daily attendance of forty children. Today membership is closing in on four hundred and fifty members, with 70-100 children coming on a daily basis.
Members are asking their parents to come back at 6: OOpm if they came too early to pick them up. Which is a testimonial to our staff, which all having extensive background working in a Boys & Girls Club.
Members have been participating in educational, athletic, cultural arts and social recreation activities. AU programs are structured and age orientated. In the past few months’ members have participated in a culinary program at Michaels Harborside, a team trivia league, chess club, History in the mg, a bank system with bank club bucks, girls only programs and a science club as well as our regular programs. Many of these programs we could not offer without your support.
