BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
Evans Opposes Jelleff Sale
D.C. Council member Jack Evans has called on the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington to reconsider the proposed sale of its Georgetown branch.
In a letter to the parent organization, Evans (D-Ward 2), whose district includes Georgetown, described the Jelleff club as a safe haven that is of vital importance to the community.
The parent organization announced last month that it was seeking proposals to redevelop the Jelleff branch, as well as its club on Capitol Hill, which it plans to close in August.
Will A. Gunn, the organization's chief executive officer, said through a spokesman that he had not yet seen Evans's letter and declined to comment.
Gunn is scheduled to discuss Jelleff's future at a meeting at the club at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
