TWO MEMBERS OF BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY WIN ESSAY CONTEST

SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, FL – Thanks to Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, two members of the Garden Terrace Unit of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County (BGCSLC) are riding new bikes.

The two, Breana H, age 9, and Mia M., age 12, wrote the winning essays in a contest run by the Club. As winners, they received bicycles donated by Coca Cola Beverages Florida. Their essays were on the subject, “What the Boys & Girls Clubs Mean to Me.”

“Being at this Club is a great opportunity,” Mia wrote. She  added that to her, the Clubs means friendship, cooperation and happiness. “For instance,” she continued,” when I go to the Boys & Girls Club, I just feel joy and happiness in my heart, especially when my friends arrive.”

The Garden Terrace Unit is located at 3104 Avenue J., Fort Pierce.

It is one of five neighborhood clubs operated by BGCSLC.
