PASCO -- A recently renovated art room and gymnasium will be unveiled Monday at the Boys & Girls Club main branch in Pasco.
The renovation was achieved with the help of more than 100 volunteers and a $27,400 Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation grant.
The grant contributed to the $75,000 project to refinish the floors and install new hardware and utilities at the Boys & Girls Club main branch at 801 N. 18th Ave.
The renovated space will be shown off at 10 a.m. Monday, with children and local officials expected to attend.

Over the next few months Congress will be debating methods for reducing our national debt. People can disagree on the approach that is best; however, there is one proposal that causes great concerns for nonprofits. That is the idea of limiting the amount of charitable deductions the wealthy can deduct.
When the discussion is about closing tax loopholes, charitable deductions are not tax loopholes. When a person makes a contribution to a charity, they receive no direct tangible benefit.
Limiting a person's ability to deduct their gifts to their church, the Boys & Girls Clubs, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Y or the thousands of other charitable organizations will affect the service we can provide.
