Boys & Girls Club of the Albemarle presents plan to serve 60–80 Perquimans youth; no board action taken
Summary
Elizabeth Mitchell, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of the Albemarle, told the Perquimans County Board the club could serve an estimated 60–80 youth at a proposed site, charging $25 per year per family and offering summer camp at $25 per week; the board received the presentation for future consideration and took no action.
Elizabeth Mitchell, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of the Albemarle, presented to the Perquimans County Board on March 2 about a potential Boys & Girls Club site in Perquimans County. Mitchell said the proposed Perquimans site is estimated to serve between 60 and 80 youth in elementary through middle school grades, and that the annual cost to a family would be $25; summer camp would be offered at $25 per week.
Mitchell said the organization focuses on Academic Success, Character and Leadership Development, Healthy Lifestyles, and Workforce Readiness, and noted the group hopes to occupy the soon-to-be-vacated Perquimans County Middle School when the new intermediate school opens. She provided the board with handouts and impact statistics drawn from nearby BGCA sites in Elizabeth City and Chowan County.
The presentation was informational; Mitchell did not request board action at this meeting. The board did not vote on or commit funding, and the minutes record this as an item for the board to consider in the future rather than a formal agenda decision.
