 | | Pat Anders Ryan, Executive Director of the Gonzales Youth Center, was the guest speaker at the Monday, June 29 meeting of the Noon Lions Club. Pat said that the center has come a long way since it was founded in 1995 with eight members. Today they have over 300 youth members and a staff of six people. She said the center's yearly budget is $120,000 but noted due to the current weak economy, they are experiencing a shortfall this year and any donations to the center are welcome. “The aim of the center is to build skills, self confidence, to become responsible citizens while providing a safe place for social, educational and recreational activies for youth in the 6-7-8 grades,” said Pat.
