Construction has commenced on the West Gaines Street School and Community Center, marking a significant step forward for the project. Currently, crews are engaged in the process of stripping away the old roof, which will soon be replaced with a brand-new structure. In conjunction with this development, the board responsible for overseeing the project is organizing a fundraising event in celebration of Juneteenth, scheduled for Saturday, June 14.
This event will provide an opportunity for the community to come together and learn more about the plans for the center, as detailed displays will be available for viewing. Attendees can look forward to a variety of activities, including food sales, a silent auction, and a bounce house designed to entertain the younger guests. The organizers warmly invite everyone to participate in this event and contribute to the support of this important initiative.
