She hopes to use revenue from arcade games and soda and snack machines to help pay building rent and utilities and other bills. Armstrong's parents are helping her sponsor the center but more sponsors are needed, she said. The center already has a pool table and one playstation. Starting the center is a vision of Armstrong's. She hopes to have the center opened by the end of January.
Several activities planned include self-defense, baseball, fashion, dance and performing arts.
Dancing will include ballet, urban and mime. There will also be puppeteering. She wants to have youth revivals and conventions and to put on plays and talent shows. Jackie Rucker, Armstrong's mother, will be helping with performing arts. Ronnie Rucker, Armstrong's uncle, will be teaching karate techniques.
