Youth at Ayres House were invited by the Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio to take part in its eight-man flag football league. The teams have competed in two games thus far and league play continues until mid-November. The flag football league is free to Ayres youth and they were provided jerseys and cleats. Also recently, at the request of Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Calvert Jr., four eager young men from Ayres house assisted the Commissioner’s Office with a graffiti wipeout project in a northeast Bexar County neighborhood. The neighborhood’s wall was littered with graffiti for a half block and the Ayres House boys, JCO Leander Allen and Community Relations Coordinator Jarvis Soileau accepted the challenge of repainting the entire wall. Commissioner Calvert thanks the Ayres House staff and youth and rewarded the youth men with pizza while offering encouraging words about seizing positive opportunities to better their lives.
