This little guy uses an over-the-shoulder approach to his pool shot at the Boys and Girls Club last Friday. Don’t know why they make these tables so tall anyway?

Taco Bell, represented by James Rich (blue shirt) and wife Kimberly (white blouse) present an oversized check to Chief Volunteer Office and Board President Esco Chavez, far left. Helping to hold up the check are Chief Professional Officer Marisa Hutchinson and Jennifer Keir, assistant to Mr. Rich.

The club members are just being social while waiting for the party to start last Friday at the Boys and Girls Club.

The young guy seems to be wondering what that camera is doing pointed at his face. He was there with his mom to help pick up some of the members at the Boys and Girls Club last Friday.

The Boys and Girls Club members were all exited last Friday as Taco Bell presented a check to them for $13, 400 to help with the expenses of operation.

Party cake at the Boys and Girls Club! The money figure is what was presented to the club on behalf of Taco Bell, who held a fundraiser and then matched what was donated.
