Volunteers to paint new Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue facility

Published 2:42 pm Friday, November 4, 2011

Volunteers from Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties will paint the interior of the newly-acquired Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue’s teen center Saturday.

The work will help turn the old Lake Hills Library into a gathering place for low-income youth.

When complete, there will be programs for music, academic support, graphic design, movie making, drama and fitness. The new teen center will be a positive place to grow.

Painting a Better Tomorrow is an annual fall event, where members and friends of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties commit one Saturday to paint and make minor cosmetic repairs to homeless shelters and nonprofit agencies throughout our community. Since its inception in October of 2004, more than 1,200 volunteers have painted and made improvements for more than 44 agencies.
