On hand to receive the
donation was Shawna Woody, chief operating officer for the
Boys & Girls Club. The Blue Gill members gifted $500 to the
Boys & Girls Club to help the organization continue its work
in the Toledo area. The Boys & Girls Club operates out of
four locations locally and will be opening a fifth during
the next year.
Pork chops, ham, chicken, collard greens, stuffing, tossed
salads and macaroni and cheese were some of the menu items
the members and guests enjoyed after the funds were passed
out.
The Blue Gill Fishing Club was organized in 1992 by five
community men, initially as a social club. Over the years,
the Blue Gill has also evolved into a service club that
raises funds for scholarships, to feed neighborhood youth
and to assist community action organizations in their
missions.
