Funds approved for Navajo Boys & Girls Club
Monday, February 28, 2005
Things are looking up for the 14 Boys & Girls Clubs on the Navajo Nation.
The clubs have been shuttered since December 8 due to a funding dispute between the non-profit organization that started them and Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr.
The clubs can now reopen with $1.25 million in emergency funding approved by the Navajo Nation Council last week. The money was given to the non-profit.
Meanwhile, Shirley is still planning to bring the clubs under the tribal government. He said the national Boys and Girls Clubs of America awarded the tribe a charter.
