The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County celebrated the end of renovations at Dan Serna Branch, and that's #SomethingGood.
A 45-year-old building in Arlington has once again gotten new life. A major makeover means something good to the kids who spend summers and after school there.
"As you can imagine when you have hundreds of kids coming into any space every day, it does need some tender love and care.
"It gives us more capacity. It gives us a space that's been updated. It gives us the opportunity to create that safe place. It gives us an opportunity to create. I think the chance for a kid to be a kid. It gives them the opportunity to think about, you know, who they wanna be," Stigliano said.Kids aged six to 18 now have a dedicated space for art, teen activities, education, social recreation and so much more.
"Primary colors can be great but when you're talking to a 13- or 14-year-old, primary colors don't necessarily do it for them all the time. So we have special spaces just for them," Stigliano said."We have spaces just for younger kids. So those are refreshed and redone, so they look great for them."Every morning, NBC 5 Today is dedicated to delivering you positive local stories of people doing good, giving back and making a real change in our community.
The City of Arlington, Ladies Auxiliary of Arlington, and LBL Architects served as partners in the renovation and picked up the $600,000 tab.
