An increase in local COVID-19 cases has prompted the Boys and Girls Club of Henderson County to suspend operations until next month.
Effective Dec. 21, the club will be closed to members and is scheduled to reopen in-person programs on Thursday, Jan. 7 in tandem with the reopening of Henderson County Public Schools.
Ongoing operations remain contingent on community health and based on the direction of health officials, the organization stated in a news release.
“We’re doing everything possible to keep our club members and staff protected from the COVID-19 virus, particularly as community spread becomes more prevalent,” said Nicola Barksdale, president of the Club’s board of directors.
