Rec Centre

So I've been reminiscing about the Frontier Rec Centre since hearing about its probable closure in October. I'm actually quite upset about that, cause it's one of my hometown's mainstays...so many people move to Frontier because it's a close, active community, and the Rec Centre is a huge part of that. If it closes, we will no longer have a skating rink, curling rink, bowling, mini-golf, movie rentals, pool tables, kitchen (with the world's best soft ice cream)...and a general hang-out place that everyone enjoys. Early in the afternoon, the old-timers sit around the tables by the fireplace area, sipping coffee and talking about life. During recess, lunch break, and after school, teenagers and elementary kids steal across the street for slushes and french fries. The Rec Centre also hosts many (if not most) of the community events, like our annual Frontier Days and numerous potlucks, sports tournaments, and ceremonies. It's a great place to entertain relatives and friends when they come down for a visit. So much of my childhood and teenagerhood happened in the Rec Centre, and it's hard to imagine anyone in Frontier growing up without it.
In conclusion, lack of money sucks.
If anyone reading this ever thinks of it again, could you actually please pray about it? It might not seem like a big deal, but if you were from Frontier, you'd understand that it really is.
