kips bay boys and girls club be great - At the club Dear Friends of “The Bay,� You've seen Boys & Girls Clubs of America's slogan, "Be Great," adorning bill boards along with an image of a youthful Denzel Washington, our national spokesman, who attended the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon as a youngster. It is a perfect message because it captures, in just two words, the opportunity that awaits every child who comes to us. I trust that the images and comments that follow in this section of the annual report will convey to you that Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club truly is the safe and positive place where more than 12,000 youngsters this year can strive to be great. I invite you to help. On the back page you will find my phone and e-mail. I am always happy to speak with you and to welcome you as a partner. Thank you for coming to "our house."
