UPDATE: Katrina Sigurdson, one of the rally organizers, had the following to say in a Facebook comment:

"IMPORTANT NOTICE! We have received word from a source that Mark Hendricks has been placed on administrative leave and will be terminated within 24 hours for insubordination -- failure to follow a direct order to move to the Federal Way Club. We need the communities support more than ever!!!"

Community members will be holding a rally in support of Mark Hendricks on Monday, Sept. 10. It will take place 5:30 p.m. at the Ballard Baptist Church across the Boys and Girls Club on 20th Ave NW.

Mark Hendricks, who has been the executive director of the Ballard Boys and Girls Club for over 25 years, recently got ordered to transfer to Federal Way, with seemingly little consent or notice. The executive director from Federal Way will be coming here to take his place.

With the rally, supporters hope to show their support and love for Hendricks while objecting to President/CEO Calvin Lyons' decision. Rally organizers also want to keep the rally peaceful and positive.

"Remember friends, this rally is all about POSITIVITY and supporting Mark!" Noelle Olmstead wrote on the Facebook page for the event. "We may disagree 1,000% with the decision that has been made, but we must remain positive and act honorably and respectfully, even if we know that those we love are not being given the same treatment."
