What Ever Happened to the Douglass Teen Center?


What ever happened to the Douglass Teen Center? There were always activities for our young people to engage in, it gave them something to do, and it did not cost a whole lot to operate.

Hopefully, when the Ebony Club comes back, it will solve the problem of providing a suitable, Christian environment for our young people, and will give them something productive to do!
