| History |
| The Center began as a dream in 1948 when veterans returned home from the war and back into the community. Area citizens decided that community youth needed a place to gather. An all-volunteer labor force designed the original Community Center. With the truest of community spirits, volunteers worked together from 1948 to 1954 to raise funds, erect a building, and accomplish their goal. Today this organization continues to foster community cohesiveness as we strive to maximize access to a variety of affordable, quality services. We have grown from a small gym and gathering place for kids to a professional agency now serving people ages 3 to 103. |
