Making a difference in the lives of the community is something every great business strives to achieve. When an opportunity arises, the caring staff at Johnson Brothers Ford of Temple do all they can to help out.
Currently, we have been given the chance to hold an event for the Ralph Wilson Youth Club on October 17, 2013. This event will feature games and activities for the kids attending and will also have food for everyone.
This Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children grow, learn, and have fun during the summer. Unfortunately, a highway is being constructed right through their building. The community has come together to build them a new one, but are in need of more funding. Because of this, Johnson Bros. wants your help in raising $1,000 for them. We are donating $250 and giving an additional dollar for every new fan on each of our Facebook pages. All you have to do is visit our pages and click “like.” Come help your community!
The Ralph Wilson Youth Club is a recreational facility for boys and girls between 5 and 14 years of age. The Club has two separate clubhouse areas that divide the children into boys and girls. The boys typically enjoy activities in one of two large game rooms that include foosball, table hockey, basketball, and bumper pool. There is also a movie room for relaxing downtime and a video arcade with popular video game consoles such as Xbox, Wii, and Playstation. There is also a gym for various sports and games.
The girls have a lot of the same areas and activities the boys do, but they also have a kitchen for cooking classes, a library, and an arts and crafts room.
The members of the Ralph Wilson Youth Club have the opportunity to partake in classes and field trips per the schedule for the summer. Some of the classes offered for members of RWYC are cooking, an art lab, Amtrak train, and keychain and jewelry making. There are swimming lessons and sports clinics as well that children can take part in. The field trips for the members of the Club visit places like Lion’s Junction Water Park, Innerspace Caverns, and Summer Fun.
Great organization and an asset to our community!
