He is a person who truly loves children and honors creativity, and he gave me complete support. The Black Mountain Family Center. I saw a facility which would provide child care, parent and child counseling on site, a lending library of parenting materials, and I saw groups of parents meeting to support each other. A recycled clothes and toys exchange would be part of the project. Most important, I saw a friendly place right at the school which would be for and by parents in support of their being parents and in support of their children.
Black Mountain is an active and caring community.
I gained support and momentum everywhere I went. We formed a Board and began setting goals and objectives. Kiwanis painted the larger of the two trailers and allocated money. Furniture, curtains, carpet came from everywhere. A committee formed and wrote grants which successfully funded a Parent Lending Library and many more projects to come.
