SALT LAKE CITY The Spence Eccles Boys & Girls Club held a ribbon-cutting for a safe haven where kids and teens in the Rose Park and Fair Park neighborhoods of Salt Lake City can grow, thrive and have fun.
The kids and teens who live in this neighborhood near 600 West and North Temple have enjoyed this clubhouse for the past year but the pandemic postponed the dedication and ribbon-cutting until Wednesday. What a beautiful building it is: it s unlike any Boys & Girls Club on the planet, said LeAnn Saldivar, outgoing president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake. Every room was carefully planned to provide a welcoming and inclusive place for kids to explore their interests, hone their knowledge and skills, and to express themselves artistically.
