Boys and
Girls Aid

Check us out at
Community
Information Day
“T
here can be
no keener
revelation of
a society’s
soul than the way in which
it treats its children.” —Nel-
son Mandella.
Many of the children in the
Portland area are not treated
well. They are abused, left on
the streets to fend for them-
selves or shuffled from one
foster home to another. What
does this reveal about our
society?
When children are connect-
ed to Boys and Girls Aid things

There will be a Boys and Girls Aid table at the Community Information Day this
month.
The Wilsonville part of this
organization is called The
Cypress Branch. It includes
members from the surround-
ing area. We work hard
throughout the year to volun-
teer and raise funds for Boys
and Girls Aid. In addition to
helping at the Adoption Picnic,
we assemble sport Bags for
Boys and donate gifts at
Christmas for the children,
create Easter baskets for girls
and hold an amazing Crab and
Rib Dinner at the Country
Club in the spring.
Stop by our table at the
change for them. This amazing
organization will counsel them
and place them in good foster
care that has been carefully
chosen with their specific
needs in mind. The children
are often adopted by these fos-
ter families.
During the summer, Boys
and Girls Aid holds a picnic for
all the adoptive families and
the children they have taken
into their homes permanently.
The happy faces of the girls
and boys at this picnic show us
a good deal about the ‘society’
created by Boys and Girls Aid.
