Meeting of the Kingman Rotary Club: Jan 7, 2009
"Can you hear me now?"
Kerry invited Noreen Frisch to speak to us about a wonderful organization, the Boys and Girls Club of Kingman. Noreen is very passionate about providing healthy and active programs for Kingman's youth, however the club is running up against some difficult budget issues. Their main fund-raiser, the proceeds from which comprised a significant portion of their annual budget, came up very short this year. Noreen is seeking donated funds to help the club get through the end of its fiscal year.
Among the many programs offered to its members, Noreen emphasized their "Power Up" program which provides healthy after-school food to the youth. She pointed out that this is a large portion of the budget but she feels very strongly about its importance.
Thank you Noreen and Kerry for your time!
