LOVES YOU!<br />

What is love? For some it is a warm feeling, cultivated from<br />

BGCOKC<br />

personal or familiar connections, that drives the heart to do<br />

marvelous things. For BGCOKC, love is that and much more! It is<br />

the goal of this organization to ensure that each and every one of<br />

our Club Kids knows that no matter their circumstances, they are<br />

loved. Loving someone means cheering them on in their<br />

successes, but also giving them encouragement through the<br />

tough times. It means pushing them to do their best when they<br />

feel like giving up. At BGCOKC, we love our Club Kids. We love<br />

giving them a home away from home and we love watching them<br />

reach their full potential.<br />

BGCOKC LOVES HAVING YOUR SUPPORT AND<br />

WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL VALENTINE'S DAY!<br />

WHAT DO OUR CLUB KIDS<br />

I love my family, my<br />

parents, and my<br />

brothers and sisters.<br />

The things I love most<br />

about the Club are<br />

the activities we do<br />

here, and Mr. AJaye,<br />

who has done a lot<br />

for me.<br />

WHAT DO OUR CLUB TEENS<br />

I love BGCOKC<br />

because it is a great<br />

environment to learn<br />

new things. Not only<br />

are you with people<br />

your age, but also older<br />

kids who can set<br />

examples for you.<br />

There are a lot of<br />

opportunities here.<br />

I love BGCOKC<br />

LOVE?<br />

because it's where<br />

my family is. I've<br />

grown up in the Club<br />

and its truly taught<br />

me what love is.<br />

WHAT DOES OUR CLUB STAFF<br />

I knew there was<br />

something special when I<br />

stepped in the door 11<br />

years ago, but it wasn't<br />

until I met my sons at<br />

the Club that I knew what<br />

true love was. I love<br />

BGCOKC because it gave<br />

me my family.<br />

KRIS MINNIS<br />

I love the Boys &<br />

LOVE?<br />

Girls Club<br />

because I make an<br />

impact on teens<br />

and can make a<br />

difference in a<br />

child's life.<br />
