The Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware is saddened to announce that our dear friend and colleague, Mike Clark, died March 7 from complications due to a blood clot and infection.  Despite emergency surgery, the damage to his leg and his major organs was too severe.  Mike was with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware for almost 30 years in a variety of capacities, including unit director at the Claymont and Greater Newark Clubs and Grants Administrator in Finance.  Through Mike’s work with the Clubs, he influenced literally thousands of lives. 

Mike would have celebrated his 52^nd birthday on March 28.  Please join us in expressing our deepest condolences to Mike’s family.
