In 1998, The Bristol Recreation Department partnered with the University of Vermont 'Expanding the Caring Community Program' to develop programming for youth within the Town of Bristol.
At the same time, the Bristol Recreation Club was running a summer day camp at the old bingo hall on the recreation field.
Working on the summer program for the Recreation Club at the bingo hall gave Ray Beaver (a UVM Caring Community Program representative) the idea to use the bingo hall as a teen center.
With the support of the Bristol Recreation Dept., Ray approached Dave Rochford to seek use of the bingo hall as a teen center. The Recreation Club agreed, and with funding from the UVM Caring Community program and a Justice Dept. grant, and a grant from Ben & Jerry's and the United Way of Addison County as well as community support from Martin's Hardware, Cubber's Pizza, Bristol Bakery, and Brown's Welding among others, Ray began improving the building and managing ongoing teen programs.
On Friday, we are celebrating the Hub's 20 Years of existence!
