Mr. Jay Creeden, a student at Northeastern University, submitted a statement
concerning the need for a, youth center. He was joined by two other students,
Craig Southern and John Connors. They proposed a youth center for use by
youths fourteen years and over. No alcohol or unreasonable behavior would be
permitted. There would be a cover charge. The center would provide a public
gathering place for youths to relax without bothering or interferring with
downtown residents and businesses.
Chairman Titus thanked Mr. Creedon for his proposal and stated that the youth
center proposal has been made several times over the years, and that several
attempts'hsve been made to start one. Torn Meeting action will be needed to
build or buy such a center. The alternative would be to have a building
donated, or have volunteers raise money for'it.'.'.. The Board members suggested
the old Knights of Columbus Hall, or the old Saint Mary's Church on Church
Street. The Board and the youth representatives agreed to meet again on
June 14 to form a five man committee to organize interested groups for a
youth center.
