Kodiak Youth Organization Lays Plans
For Club House Building At Long Island
By Doris Anderson
The Kodiak Youth Organization
which is better known at the pres
ent as the Teen Club, was formed
during February, 11)62, by the
merging of two efforts—one by the
late Dan Steadman and Mrs. Stead
man and the other by Phil Ander
son and Pete Marinkovich.
The original idea was to organize
some type of recreation for the
youth of Kodiak and to eventually
have a building where all the or
ganizations concerning youth could
meet for business and recreational
purposes.
Friday night dances were the
first step to fulfill the idea and
these dances have been held al
most continuously since that time.
The VFW Hall was used until
the membership and attendance
was too great to be accommodated
there.
At that time, the dances were
moved to the National Guard Arm
ory where they have been held ever
since These dances are chaperoned
by at least two adults, however, the
club itself is directed completely
by the youngsters.
The Youth Council, which is the
governing body, is made up of two
sets of officers (president, secre
tary, treasurer and Member at
at large) which are called the
Junior and Senior Councils, with
matching officers of youngsters
and adults.
The organization has over $1,000
;n the treasury at this time which
has been made in various ways;
they held one public dance, a booth
was sponsored at the Crab Festival,
proceeds from their juke box, and
refreshments are sold at the Friday
night dances.
They are well on the way to hav
ing their building which will prob
ably be constructed this summer.
The organization was given two
buildings from which they Will
have the building materials needed
and the City of Kodiak has given
them the land which will be theirs
as soon as the architectural plans
are submitted to the City. The
youngsters plan to not only build
the building but to also make a
park for the whole of Kodiak to
enjoy.
Tommy Gallagher has offered
the club the use of the buildings
on Long Island, too, for week-end
excursions, picnics and outings
The club plans to enjoy the use of
Long Island as soon as the weather
permits.
Building materials have been do
nated by Chuck Powell and Bill
Fuller.
The club hopes to have made dif
ferent phases for recreation other
than the dances such as a small
