Fort Walton Beach, FL - (September, 2006)
The Eleanor J. Johnson Youth Center had an exciting month. This year several children and parents went to Orlando to participate in family activities at Walt Disney World. The participants enjoyed an eventful trip, and took several pictures with the Disney characters, (which we hope to have uploaded shortly for public viewing). The center hopes that this will turn into an annual activity for the center's participants. The youth center has always provided outstanding annual field trips, including fishing charters, and water parks. The center is open from 2PM to 6PM in after school, and 9AM to 5PM in the Summer. For more information on eligibility, or the programs the center offers, please contact 850-244-5991, and ask for Todd Gatlin.
