Winston's Gang aims to draw youth to campus sporting events

Organizers of Westminster College's new children's club, Winston's Gang, are hoping for a good turnout at the group's first event: Senior night for the men's and women's basketball teams on Feb. 18.

The purpose of Winston's Gang, according to senior Kathryn Leetch, is "to get Fulton and Westminster connected," by inviting area children through eighth grade to attend Westminster sporting events and letting them get to know the athletes.

"We want them to feel comfortable here," Leetch said. "We've always wanted the people of Fulton to come see our games, and we want to go out in town and get involved."
