[RP TownTalk] Comm Cntr

[OurDollMom at aol.com]

I just tried to go to those web sites
and came up they dont exist.  I
remember this discussion and 
there was not much interest.  But
I dont know what went into the 
people not being interested.
Sometimes people need to visit &
see successful community centers
- hear about them etc to know if
there is an interest.  I think the teen
problems of nothing to do after school
and the senior social needs, place
where people can safely get together 
to play cards/board games etc. But 
I think we would have to find ways to 
involved the local colleges maybe to
help run-involve  - help - give ideas - 
as students are earning their degrees.
This gives them experience, & helps
us too. Involved high schoolers of our
town to donate time & get experience
in filling community needs, middle
school could join in - the more adults,
kids join in to serve the needs of the
community - it becomes fun and 
emotionally rewarding, teaching adult/
kids communicating skills, empathy,
----there has to be some way of bringing
adults, old & young, kids of all school 
age together to form a better community
meeting the needs of our special town.
Feeling good about ourselves, building
self esteem.  Join in with the scouts etc.
I think Greenbelt does well with their 
programs.  I go there all the time & 
belong to their gym.      Emily
