Boys and Girls Club, Booker Starring on Episode of Home Improvement Show

The newest episode of George to the Rescue’s 2013 spring season is tackling home and community remodeling projects that benefit families and community organizations in need. NBC’s home improvement show, starring George Oliphant, focuses on the renovation of the Boys and Girls Club of Newark and features an appearance by Mayor Cory Booker.

The episode will air locally on NBC 4 New York, Saturday, April 27 at 10 am. .

In the episode, Booker makes a surprise visit to the Boys and Girls Club to announce that their lounge, the “Teen Room”, has been chosen by George to the Rescue for a “renovation rescue”. He introduces George Oliphant to the staff and teens and sits with the kids for a chat.

As a result of many years of use, the Teen Room had begun to show signs of disrepair, and outdated TVs, chipping floor tiles, a crumbling drop ceiling and dysfunctional computers had become the norm.
