\ Your Worship and Members:

The PoCoMo Boy's and Girl's Club presently finds itself without
office space.

For the past three years, the PoCoMo Boy's and Girl's Club has
been using the storage room in Meridian Village for their office.
The facility, although rather antiquated, allowed our club to
provide services to children throughout Coguitlam, Port Coquitlam,
and Port Moody.

For many years, the Boy's and Girl's Club has provided services
to children, including disadvantaged and handicapped, by the way
of recreational, cultural and educational activities with the
focus being upon the individual child rather than upon the
activity itself. -

Our. mission .is to provide behaviour guidance and to promote the
health, social, educational, vocational and character development
of boys and girls. ‘The way we provide this is to be an advocate
for youth through volunteerism, community involvement, interaction
with young people, individualized approaches, guidance, good
citizenship and leadership training.

For the past seven years, PoCoMo has responded to the needs in the
ity by providing programs which include outdoor, social
recreational, physical, social group work; arts and crafts, drop-in

activities, leadership and individual services.
