LACONIA — The Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region has received a $25,000 donation from MB Tractor and Equipment.
The gift will be used to renovate the clubhouse at 876 North Main St.
"This gift will help create a safe place for Lakes Region kids to go when they are not in school. We are grateful to the Bourgeois family and MB Tractor for their generosity," said Chris Emond, executive director of the club which last year enrolled 257 members in grades 1 through 12 from Laconia, Gilford and Belmont.
Marc Bourgeois, principal owner of Tilton-based MB Tractor said, "We support the Lakes Region Boys & Girls Club because we know the difference the organization makes for kids."
Along with key structural upgrades, the renovation will create a teen center, improve space for enrichment activities and enhance the foyer to better control access to the facility. A new, industrial kitchen will enable the club to serve free, hot, nutritious meals to club members each evening.
