Why did we change our name?. |
|
The name change occurred for the following reason: Boys Club of America
was allowed in a settlement with Girls Clubs of America to change its name to
Boys and Girls Clubs of America. We wanted a name and image that better
reflects who we are today and a name that clearly distinguishes us from
Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
In 1991 the Girls Club of Lynn became Girls Incorporated of Lynn! |
