SAFELY OCCUPIED

Summer is almost over, and I am wondering how our city fared.

With cutbacks in employment for youth, our streets were very populated with idle youths.

I am proud to say the Southside Boys and Girls Club kept 300 youths daily off the streets and provided a safe and nurturing environment.
