A fresh start

The airmen and others from the 366th Civil Engineer Squadron at the local Air Force base volunteered their time that afternoon to continue refurbishing the local youth outlet as part of an overall renovation project that started Oct. 8.

With the facility struggling to keep its doors open following the loss of its annual subsidies from the city, organizers will hold a bowling benefit Saturday evening at Freedom Lanes with proceeds benefitting the center. Photo by Brian S. Orban
