probably, any fund-raising
efforts.
Geter and representa-
tives of the Boys and Girls
Club of West Georgia have
agreed to meet to further dis-
cuss the creation of a club in
Hogansville, and Martin has
said he will again bring the
possibility of creating a Boys
an Girls Club before the
Hogansville City Council.
Martin has said he wants
to see after-school programs
that would enhance educa-
tional opportunities for the
city's youth while also offer-
ing them new recreational
programs.
Although the city has not
officially endorsed Martin's
proposals, there seems to be
general agreement that he is
on to a good idea.
Funding, particularly
with the state's economy still
in a funk, will obviously be
the first problem that needs
solving.
