The Manchester Men’s Club recently made a substantial donation to the Manchester Boys Basketball Program.  Coach Ahrens stopped by the club’s meeting to talk to the membership about this year’s team, the program’s past successes, and their plans for this year. He also highlighted their many needs: new uniforms, shot clocks, money for summer camp scholarship opportunities, new youth-sized basketballs, paying for referees, and much more.

“Needless to say, the Men’s Club was very excited to help support this program,” said Men’s Club member Terris Ahrens, “and we were happy to donate a check in the amount of $1,500.”

The Men’s Club is currently in the midst of one of its largest fund-raisers; the annual Christmas Tree sale. Your support of these programs helps the club in turn support the Manchester community in many ways.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
