Gig Harbor Welcomes New Boys and Girls Club


I've lived in Gig Harbor for more than 15 years, and I remember hearing rumors when we first came to this community that a Boys and Girls Club was on the horizon. At that time, rumors also included that a second Narrows Bridge would be built, that a hospital was proposed and a YMCA was coming.

Wow. I think we done good! On October 1st, the Jim and Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center and Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget will be dedicated at 8502 Skansie Avenue, Gig Harbor WA 98332. The facility will open to the public on October 5th.


The Boys and Girls Club has several partners in the facility including Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children, Peninsula Athletic Association, and an Active Adult Center (senior center).


The facility will offer progams for kids including sports, performing arts and arts and crafts as well as computer classes, environmental classes as well as gardening.


It's a state of the art facility, a beautifully constructed building that will further enhance the great community we live in. Find out more at http://www.bg-clubs.com/
