Obama visits DC Boys & Girls Club
By Max Greenwood - 12/14/17 05:59 PM EST


Former President Barack Obama, donning a Santa hat, stopped by a branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington on Thursday.

The former president paid a visit to the Jelleff Club in Northeast Washington, where he visited with about 50 middle school students taking part in after-school activities, The Washington Post reported.

During the visit, which lasted about half an hour, Obama brought gifts and posed for a photo with the students. He tweeted about the experience shortly after.

"There's no better time than the holiday season to reach out and give back to our communities," he tweeted. "Great to hear from young people at the Boys & Girls Club in DC today."

6. Same here.

Words cannot express just how much I miss him and his family. And, his VP, his SofS, his Chief of Staff, his Energy Secretary, his Interior Secretary...

3. He is in DC

What's that about?

Surely not just a visit to the boys and girls club.
