Hi folks!
I am the Teen Center Coordinator at the NEKCA Teen Drop-in Center in downtown Newport, VT. Due to significant cuts from the State of Vermont, we are in serious jeopardy of closing our Teen Center which has been a "hub" for local youths in the North East Kingdom for 15 years.
We are holding a fundraiser on Friday, September 18th, from 6 - 9 pm in Derby, VT. The band "Hornbeam" is playing (woohoo!) and we are having a silent auction, cash bar, appetizers, and a photo exhibit on at-risk youth around VT.

We have ultimately decided not have a cover charge and only ask for a donation, while we need to raise funds we believe it is important to raise awareness and rally our community. Below is the link to our event on Facebook.

If you cannot make it but would like to contribute, we have established a crowd funding campaign.

We hope to see you there!
