Our children are after all our future and should learn to be responsible community members from a young age. These clubs offer services to a wide range of economic and social backgrounds. This of course brings them all together under one roof, and with proper supervision and community support can provide an excellent learning enviornment for our children.<BR/> I am always a little uneasy when sending my children out in the community, however when I needed a safe place for them to go it was comforting to have a B and G club. Sometimes problems arose, but that happens anywhere. These were settled and usually provided some kind of learning experience for the kids and parents alike.<BR/> I think we need to remember, our children are in a community, the children they play with today may be the adult they work with tommorow. Every child derserves a chance to be a positive member in society. They need good role models. If the role model can not come from home maybe someone in the community can fill the empty space.heliotropenoreply@blogger.com
