To Be Determined

  From the Director’s Desk

Dear Parent(s),

I know some of you are curious about what exactly goes on at the

Ardmore Avenue Community Center (Soul Shack). 

Let me give you a small glimpse...

Your kids are playing video games. They are doing homework, working on computers, studying for exams and filling out college apps. They’re playing volleyball, and yes…basketball. Your kids are sitting around in groups laughing, talking, snap chatting, and eating. Your kids are in meetings with staff, listening to their favorite music and watching television. Your kids are talking with Ms Crystal and trying not to fall asleep so Mr. Larry doesn’t tie them to the furniture. Your kids are being who they are as individuals. Your kids are being kids, our “Rats”…and we love them! -Linda

 Vernon Young: husband, father, coach, educator, Olympic official, athlete, and father figure to many watched over at least 3 generations of kids on Ardmore Ave Playground.   

We were unable to give scholarships for the 2022-23 school year.  Prayerully we will be able to give our Shack Rats help in the 2023-24 school year. 

In tribute to the rich history of our community the Ardmore Avenue Community Center will open up Legacy Lane, in Vernon Young Park in the Spring to add new bricks.  You have an opportunity to participate in this special project by purchasing an engraved Legacy Brick.  Your brick will immortalize & honor  loved ones, churches, businesses, professional & social clubs, sororities & fraternities, or whatever you want!  It's like leaving your handprint on the Vernon forever!  My name is already there so my new brick is going to say

"Meet me over the road".
