A Special Thanks
Susie the owner of Sacred Grounds Espresso Cafe in Stacy stopped by with a care package and a nice donation. Erin and Josh Pepin dropped off some jerky and cookies. Subway in Wal-Mart (Forest Lake) for dinner. I didn't get the woman's name, her daughter attends the Teen Center and she was kind enough to drop off a sandwich and warm wishes on her way home.
Day 6
Been a busy day with interviews with the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press. Total donations as of 4:00pm Thursday $23,000. Will update more later!

The words of one donor
I believe the Teen Center is necessary to our community and has value. If it keeps one kid out of trouble and puts his or her feet on the path to a happy successful life, it is well worth any cost. With regard to the adults of this community, I will say this: To those to whom much is entrusted, much is expected. It is one thing to talk the talk, and quite another to walk the walk, especially with the contents of your wallet. Fancy vacations , houses, cars and other items are not our future. Our young people are. You don't have to be a liberal or a socialist to understand this either. Just a realist with a heart.
