The Collaborative recently began a campaign promoting the building of a centrally-located community center. The county’s current plan has a Prince Frederick area community center slated for 10 years out, but hundreds of families who live in the center of the county need a safe place for their children now. We advocated for a community pool for many years, before it came into fruition, and you, the community, helped us advocate.
We need your help now to move the idea of a Prince Frederick community center up in priority in the county’s planning. You can help us advocate by simply sending a letter to the editor and to our county commissioners letting them know that you support a centrally-located community center.
The letter or email does not have to be long, simply write that you would like to see a community center that could be used for activities such as; family and cultural events, arts, learning, and sporting events. And, if you would also like to see sporting fields along with a center, please include that as well.
Thousands of youth are not being served by the county, and do not have a safe place to play, socialize, and learn about positive relationships and team work. Let’s make this happen for our families today.
As we say at the Collaborative, “We are the future of our Children.” Make them proud of us!
