"Great Futures Start Here"

Boys & Girls Club of Joliet and IL State Senate honor 

Frank Bati for 50 years of service

"Heroes get remembered, but legends never die."

In February,  A milestone was reached as Frank Bati was honored for an unprecedented 50 years of employment at the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet.

Thank you to IL State Senator Pat McGuire for joining us in the celebration and for presenting Frank with an official IL State Senate recognition certificate for his service.

In addition to being a long time employee, Frank was also a member of the original Boys Club in Joliet. He has dedicated his entire life to our mission of "enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."

Thank you Frank!

Happy Presidents' Day!
 

Our youth celebrated the holiday with a day off from school and a Presidents' Day activity with the help of Sandra Avilez, one of our wonderful tutors.

Thank you Sandra for laying the foundation of #GreatFutures for our youth!
