Local club reaches milestone
The Boys & Girls Club of Appling County recently received a recognition plaque from the Boys & Girls Club of the Middle Georgia Region.

The directors and staff were recognized for being the first board in the region to achieve 100 percent board participation in the “It Just Takes One” (IJTO) annual campaign.
CPO Arnold, in recognizing the group said, “The Appling County Board of Directors and Staff have set the bar high for the entire Middle Georgia Region. This exceptional achievement can be attributed to great leadership and incredibly committed board members and staff. Citizens should be very proud of their work on behalf of the youth of Appling County.
This also was the first time in the history of the Boys & Girls Club of Appling County that all Board members made a personal contribution to the club during the IJTO. Appling Unit Board Chairman Ronald Burkett thanked all the directors for not only making a personal contribution but for also asking for donations from the local community. “I am so pleased, that even in the hard economic times we are in, that so many individuals and organizations stepped up to the plate to make generous donations to the club,” said Burkett.
