The roots of this organization were planted about 11 years ago when Ken and Allyn Scott began a small restaurant called "Hot Dog Junction." Hot Dog Junction was a social gathering place for local youth. The byword down at the Junction was trust. Every youngster who came into the Junction was a first class citizen. The young people became a part of the Junction. They rang up their own orders, got their own drinks, and helped serve the rest of the customers.
The years went on and Allyn and Ken decided that the Junction had grown into much more than just a restaurant, it had become a "Home away from home" for all of us. As a youth center it had out grown the capacity of the building. So with the help of dedicated community volunteers on the board, the endless support of the youth, and a soon to be youth board the MYCC dream developed.
Over the past year the youth of the area conducted many fund raisers and were involved in several community service projects. With the many small fund raisers that we put on, we earned over $30,000. We have proven our creditability and determination over the past year through our involvement.
We are now in the procces of buying a building and only have three years to raise $100,000.00 to complete the purchase or all of our efforts have been in vain. Throughout these oncoming months the adult community will be helping us to bring the building up to our expectations. While we are renovating the building the youth will have a chance to interact with the adults who used the building as a Skateland. We are hoping that you of the INTERNET community will be able to help us along with our journey. Your tax deductable contribution will be greatly appreciated.
