The Rotary Club of Brunswick has been awarded a $5,000 grant to purchase nine laptop computers, mouses and a securable computer charging cabinet for the Brunswick Teen Center. This competitively awarded Rotary District 7780 grant was approved in mid-July.
The Teen Center serves 40-50 youths per month from Brunswick and nearby towns. The center offers nutritious snacks, adult supervision and social interaction with other teens.
