It Bookman Community Center

Okay, so I actually work here as a part of the MYEEP (helping kids get jobs) program, and it’s pretty close to my house. It’s not one of those fancy office buildings with carpeted floors and stuff but it’s a nice place that offers senior services and opportunities for youth to get a good job experience. There’s also a clinic in the back and an afterschool program, but you’ll need to get used to the loud screaming of the children.
There’s also a nice library and dry cleaners across the street.

Oh I am waxing nostalgic tonight on Unilocal.I am writing a review about another childhood memory of mine. I love this center. I remember and honor Mr. Bookman. He was a long-​time member of Pilgrim UCC. He was a tire-​less community organizer and motivator.
The lot where this center sits used to be a very talk and menacing victorian perched on a rock fortress. No joke. It housed Pilgrim’s Sunday School. My Mother was the Sunday School teacher for many years. She raised 6 of us in this church. Man I remember playing in the holy water at age 3 or 4. I remember the Easter Egg Hunts.
Present day I am full of memories. My brother is President of the Center. My brother was inspired by Mr. Bookman. Carl is just as tireless.
Every Year my family of about 75+ has our Holiday party here. Holiday because we are all of different faiths or no faiths. They have a full kitchen. One can rent the center for birthday parties, receptions, lunches, conferences etc.
They sponsor Food pantrys and health clinics. There are separate events for Senior Citizens, Teens/​Adolescents Children At Risk.
The center offers a wealth of services. Please utilize this jewel.
