THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Johnny Crowe who lost his sister Marilyn Jessie Crowe Vanegas on May 3. Johnny works in the Club’s Shop and Bus Departments. Several members of the Crowe family have been employed at the Boys Club over the years and our hearts are with them all at this time.
DOT/BOYS CLUB NEIGHBORS
The Cherokee DOT and Boys Club are new neighbors since DOT and Transit moved into their new facility recently. We want to take a moment to welcome them to the neighborhood and to remind everyone of the increased amount of traffic to Acquoni Road. Please be cautious and courteous when entering and exiting onto Acquoni Road and at all times.
CHILDREN’S HOME
Please note that the Children’s Home has installed new speed bumps on Children’s Home Road. Please keep this in mind for the safety of everyone, especially the children who play there!
