Commissioner Sherry McCreary introduced Todd Peoples during the July 18 Claiborne County Commission meeting to provide an update on the Boys and Girls Club.
Peoples told commissioners the club is currently operating at Soldiers Memorial Middle School and organizers are planning to expand programming to additional areas of the county. He invited commissioners to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for July 27 at 10:30 a.m. according to his remarks to the commission.
The commission also heard briefly from Alex Painter, identified in the minutes as the first participant to sign up for the local club, who expressed appreciation for the program. The exchange was recorded during the public comment/discussion portion of the meeting and no formal action or funding was taken by the commission at that time.
The county minutes list the Boys and Girls Club discussion as a new-business discussion item; any further requests for county support or funding would need to be scheduled and presented separately for commission consideration.
