Green & Gold Gazette A Publication of the Green & Gold Foundation and

the Roosevelt Recreation and Social Club

Recently, we were forced to shorten our hours of operation as a cost saving method, by closing early on Fridays. We are asking that the community we so diligently support help us make this our last drastic change, as we are in dire need of assistance to help us keep our doors open to continue helping the community.

Please consider donating to our HELP campaign today, or, if you prefer to sign up for a membership, simply send in your tax-deductible donation for one of the membership levels below.

With community participation & dedication, the B Street Center will continue to be a beacon for the community full of programming, social services, and support.

All memberships and contributions directly benefit the B Street Center. No amount is too little - All contributions help !!!!
