Rockwall Boys and Girls Club Heal Thyself!

November 26th, 2009

I am appalled at  The Rockwall News and the Boys and Girls Club of Rockwall  for implying that the City of Rockwall should give up economic development opportunities and bail out a nonprofit organization. It is not the responsibility of any City to ensure that non-profits thrive or even survive. The Rockwall County Kiwanis (of which I am a member) just gave the B&G club $1,500.00. I have supported the organization in the past through Leadership Rockwall and attending their functions. Other Council members have been board members in the past. As a reward the Rockwall City Council and the City of Rockwall gets slammed by a website and others  for not bailing them out. My support ends here.

The Rockwall Independent School District was instrumental in bringing the B&G Club to Rockwall. No one questions the RISD about their support. Where is the National B&G Club and why aren’t they trying to help? Is it really the economy or is the B&G club fat at the top? Valid questions I think. In reality the only one to help the B&G Club is itself and the board who governs it. Where were they in the WFAA Channel 8 Report?
