The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County’s 10th Annual Futures for Kids Gala may not have been a life-changing event, but what it supports may be. “I think this organization literally saves lives,” Helping Hands Award recipient Alex Laidlaw said on Thursday evening at the Gainesville Civic Center. Laidlaw, who runs Holiday Marina in Buford as vice president of Westrec Marinas, was instrumental in implementing an annual golf tournament to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs.
