Grafton Club Paints Boys & Girls Club

by Robert Elsass

In September, 10 members of the Kiwanis Club of Grafton painted interior portions of the Newport News Boys & Girls Club as part of the on-going partnership between Kiwanis and Boys & Girls Clubs, Inc.  A local Sherwin-Williams store donated paint and supplies at the request of project coordinator Mary Boxer.
