The management team at the club has officially stepped down and a new board will oversee our programs moving forward. It is heartening to see that the concerns expressed by all 226 of you finally compelled those in power to listen. I hope we can now turn our attention toward …

This petition as for the boy the girls club to do better and focusing on our community a lot more than it has done in recent years. The boys and girls club is supposed to be a community building that makes people feel comfortable and safe letting their kids join as well as feeling excepted themselves. We are petitioning and eventually protesting for reform and or removal of the buildings poor management. Plain and simple they haven’t served our children well as compared to other boys and girls clubs. This petition is for mismanagement of funds, no community involvement, no community leadership, no teen programs, no kids programs and the lost of community trust. We are unheard and we are tired of feeling unaccepted in a building that was built in our community for our community.

Reaching this current level of support confirms that my frustrations with the club are shared by many others who call this neighborhood home. It is a quiet but powerful validation that our desire for better management and genuine community connection is not just a personal grievance.

We can’t let any institution in the community not function to its full potential! Our lives and the kids are too precious! Let’s make the boys n girls a community resource not another gatekeeper.

The boys and girls club has went down hill since Tisha and the people who started the new building left... I think employees should live in this community to work there

This is the first year my daughter is not going there for Summer camp....I had so many problems last year with the director and counselors. I would be happy to write a letter too if need be.

Firm believer that this can and will happen, I Miss Being around Ms.T & Mr.Pal They served different purposes then this newly funded staff . With the old b&Gc there was no hidden agendas the help came from the heart and they prided themselves on teaching & inspiring the youth .

They are located here to help the community so why does my son have to practice basketball on the streets in the heat of summer or bitter cold of winter when theirs a perfectly empty building with a court there! Now if you go into Patchogue at the ymca they have free programs to use the building and courts why not them? Just saying
