4th Annual Mile of Quarters Set for Saturday, Sep. 11
Going the Extra Mile for our Kids
How many quarters does it take to make a mile, laying them end to end? The answer is 63,000!The Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley will hold its fourth annual “Mile of Quarters” on Saturday, September 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Westfield Topanga Mall. This is the only event of its kind and each year hundreds of children and their families spend time placing the quarters to complete one mile (5,280 feet). People can purchase one foot of quarters for $3.25 or sponsor a Mile Marker for more. A DJ will play music and there will be children’s entertainment and dignitaries throughout the day. A few sponsorship opportunities are still available.
It’s been a great start to summer camp! The kids have been doing great things at the main Clubhouse and taking lots of field trips. Every Friday is theme day and in the last several weeks the kids have enjoyed Aloha week and Sports week. Field trips have included bowling, the Santa Monica Pier, Museum of Tolerance (teens) and Universal Studios
