Thank you to the Boys and Girls Club!

July 24, 2024
I hope this message finds you and yours well. 

Last week, I was grateful to take a tour of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley’s state-funded teen program, FREE for teens in the 104th! I want to give a special thanks to them for having me to talk about the success in the first year of this state-funded program. Hearing the teens talk about its impact is truly special. This is state dollars at work for our young people. Let’s keep it going.

There is no greater joy than seeing the smiles on these teen's faces and knowing the work you’re doing is making a difference in their lives. I’m so proud to have secured these much-needed state funds so our young people have a place of their own to spend their time positively.

During the school year, this program runs from 6pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and includes free dinner, speakers during dinner on a variety of career paths, and then use of the clubhouse just for teens to relax, socialize, play games and sports, use computers for school work, and much more.
 
Summer hours are currently every Wednesday. Another night might be added soon.
 
Over 171 teens are already registered. Let’s keep the momentum going!
