>are providing to convert for this purpose.  The organizers are planning to
>have youth volunteers work over the summer to convert it into a "cool" and
>safe place to hang out and participate in studying/tutoring starting this
>Fall.  With this message I am sharing below their announcement about an
>upcoming launch event and fundraiser.  Contact Brenda Miller for more

>The Hillsboro Baptist Church is endeavoring to open a youth center for all
>youth from rising 6th graders through high school in our community.  Our
>goal is to open the youth center, which will be called "The Zone" when
>school opens in the fall.  The purpose of The Zone is to provide a safe,
>loving environment for teens in the community to hangout after school.
>Recognizing that teens need fellowship and encouragement from each other and
>that the best way to reach kids is through kids.  We're hoping to provide
>peer-to-peer tutoring as well as tutoring from volunteers.  To raise funds
>for the renovations to the building, we are holding a huge fundraiser this
>Saturday, June 10th to celebrate the end of the school year.
