The Youth Center Committee is moving right along with plans on opening their doors September 2008. There is negotiations taking place on a location right now and will be revealed when the paperwork is done. Six individuals have agreed to be on the Board of Directors and we are still looking for another member so if you have an interest let Erin Odens or Shelly Fanning know. Funding is going well. We currently have applied for the My Hometown Helper Grant for up to $15,000. We now need community support by having Scotland residents post their comments on the Scotland Youth Center Link (another entry to follow on instructions to do this). There will be three paid part-time positions with the creation of the youth center. An account has been set up at Farmer’s and Merchants State Bank for monetary donations that have been given, the Good Stuff will be contributing some of the furnishings for the building. If you have anything you would like to donate whether it be time, financial, supplies, or talent please contact Erin Odens, Shelly Fanning, Tanya Vitek, Damon Alvey, or Pam Cokeley.
