Bronson and George Parkko are
co-Chairmen of the Program
Committee.
There will be a great deal of
sports equipment and many games
available for th^ use of those in
attendance. Hobbies will be
taught by adults proficient in
various fields.
One feature of the program will
be regularly scheduled dinners
for the group. The first of these
is scheduled for the opening night,
of the Center, Friday. September
20. All boys and girls between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen
or in the eighth grade through
high school are invited.
For the present the Center will
be set up in the Social and Game
rooms of the Federated Church.

nent home will be arranged, at
which time all equipment of the
Center will be transferred to the
