The Geneva Community Center
is well under way on Carter Road, just down the street from the Geneva high and
middle schools. The 24,000 square feet Center is being built by the
Boys & Girls Clubs
of Geneva on about 15 acres. It includes a full gymnasium, a lounge and crafts
room for senior citizens, and lounge for teens, a game room, a performing arts
space, an art room, a recording studio and more. The grounds are surrounded by
almost of mile of walking trails, wetland pond areas, an athletic field, and
will be a lovely park after a few years and the many trees and other plantings
take hold. The
Center will be the site of the
Boys & Girls Clubs teen
center after-school, and will be available to other groups and programs
throughout the day and on the weekends.

News
Update: About $4 million of the $5 million project has been raised thus far.
For the final million, the Kresge Foundation has recently announced it is
backing the project with a $350,000.00 challenge grant, leaving the Club to
raise $643,000.00 in pledges and donations by October 1, 2009. State Senator
Michael Nozzolio followed this Kresge award by announcing a state grant of
$200,000.00, leaving $443,000.00 to complete the project. The theme of the
project is "Bringing Geneva Closer Together," and we look forward to a ribbon
cutting in the summer of 2009.
