The Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce will give local business and community members an opportunity to learn more about the work of the Boys & Girls Club of Chattooga during its September Lunch & Learn.

The event will be held Tuesday, September 15 at the Boys & Girls Club, located at 11570 U.S. Highway 27 in Summerville.

Rather than holding the monthly event at a traditional meeting location, Chamber members and other guests will have lunch at the club and then get a firsthand look at the facility and its programs.

Director Deb Stowe will lead a tour and talk about the work she and her staff are doing with young people in Chattooga County. The Chamber says the visit will provide an opportunity for participants to see the club in operation and learn more about its role in the community.

The public is invited, but reservations are required because lunch will be catered.

The cost is $12 for Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce members and $17 for non-members.

The Boys & Girls Club provides local young people with a supervised environment and programs designed to support education, personal development and positive activities outside regular school hours.

The September Lunch & Learn will give local residents and business leaders an opportunity not only to hear about those programs, but also to tour the facility and see where that work is taking place.
