Oh no, not them.....
Juneau Boys & Girls Club closes due to loss of funding
The Juneau Boys & Girls Club will shut it's doors at the close of business today. (Friday)

The local club's manager sent a letter home with kids yesterday afternoon stating that the Anchorage head office called to inform them that, due to a loss in funding, the Juneau club will have to close.

The Department of Justice usually awards the national organization about $40 million annually.

Of that amount, Alaska Boys and Girls Club officials say they usually receive about $2 million.

According to the Department of Justice, the program does not meet its mentorship requirements so the grant was not awarded.

Several other of the clubs 45 locations around the state will also close today.
