Staff at the Hendersonville Boys & Girls Club enjoy lunch courtesy of Thank A Local Lawman and Firehouse Subs.

STAND T.A.L.L. – Thank A Local Lawman, through the generosity of Firehouse Subs and its owner, Monte Sims, recently provided a “Thank You” lunch for the 50 staff members who have worked to supervise the more than 400 children who attended the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County's daily summer camp program.

Most of these are part-time summer workers, and some were previous club members who sought to work this summer with the Boys & Girls Club. Other part-time staff is made up of college students and local area young adults who sought the opportunity to work with the children.

“This is our second year of bringing a really great lunch to the hard working young people at the Boys & Girls Club," said Ron Kauffman, president of STAND T.A.L.L. "We’re thankful for our great relationship with Firehouse Subs who have partnered with us so we can provide a wonderful lunch and show our gratitude to this team for doing a great job with the kids.”

Club Operations Manager Josh Queen said, “These young men and women work at club’s summer program because they enjoy the experience and really love the children. This has been great, and we really appreciate Firehouse Subs and STAND T.A.L.L. for recognizing our staff for the work they do, and making one of the last days of our summer program really special for all of us.”
