If you look closely, you’ll see the face of Chris Woodford in the middle of this picture (kids pointing at him!) Chris is the Club Manager of our East Dartmouth site and is the latest recipient of our Inspiration of the Month award. Chris did a lot of extra bus driving last fall, went above and beyond to run to work (literally) one morning to help other staff with a bus run in wintry weather, and was nominated by his team for being professional, supportive, and flexible. Thanks Chris and great work!
We grow great futures, such as our new board member Denise Mentis-Smith. Denise is a lawyer with Harris North Law, and a former club kid, having attended the Boys and Girls Club of Truro when she was in junior high school. "My positive experience I had then makes me want to give back. Growing up in a small community, there wasn’t a lot to do. The Boys and Girls Club was a safe place. There was a lot of racism in Truro then. My parents were protective, and knew the club was a safe space for me. I absolutely felt like an equal, and all of the kids were overcoming barriers like not having a lot of opportunities. I remember getting to go overnight camping, being able to sit around a camp fire, talking, and learning about each other. It was positive for me.” Welcome to the team, Denise!
