Abbe Clubhouse History
More than a century after its founding, BCNY expanded its operations beyond Manhattan. In 1992, after taking over the existing Flushing Boys’ Clubs, BCNY began operating another clubhouse in Queens (the “Flushing Clubhouse”). By 2001, membership had grown to over 1800 boys, and in December of that year, work began on a new facility. The Marion McMahon Abbe Clubhouse opened on September 25, 2003.
