David MorrisVolunteers, we need you! Our Friday night Open Play program continues to grow each week with great success.

Our average of 40 kids jumped to 80 and 100 and last week we had 135 kids running about the building and having fun, which is great. But in order to maintain a safe environment for the kids, we need help chaperoning and maintaining order throughout the community center.
