Thanks to Carol Burns, owner of the Plaza Restaurant in Emlenton, a generous thought has turned into a nice donation for The Boys & Girls Club Along The Allegheny.
During the holiday season Burns and her staff sold gift certificates in December for The Plaza Restaurant and the Emlenton Travel Center. In all, a total of $1265 in gift cards were sold. Burns, who has been a great supporter of The Boys and Girls Club Along The Allegheny rounded that figure up to an even $1,500.00.
The Boys and Girls Club was established in 2001 by Dave Staab, a local businessman of Emlenton. The club is an established 501(c) 3 organization who’s purpose is to provide programs and services to better enhance an individual youth's personal sense of; usefulness, competency, belonging and influence. As a result, members develop meaningful life roles and interests in family, school, community and work settings.
