CRRC Rec Center Campus — — The Gathering Place Grows

The CRRC Resource Program has created a new fund to help with unusual needs in the Canyon Lake community. This might be a water leak repair, emergency prescriptions, or rental deposit to help a family in an abusive situation. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible.

Please watch your neighbors homes

and businesses. Our Community Center/Senior

Center was broken into sometime Sunday af-

ternoon/night. Intruder made off with all our

electronics and caused damages to the building

with a total of over $5,000. Someone has also

broken into field houses at the sports complex

twice in the last week and tried to break into

one of the Lion's Club storage buildings. Sev-

eral churches in New Braunfels and business

were hit Sunday as well. Please don't hesitate

to call our Sheriff's Dept. if you drive by and

see any suspicious activity!! Thanks!

In conjunction with Comal County, the CRRC Community Center will be hosting an Evening Re-porting Center.

The ultimate goal of the program is to divert juve-niles from delinquency while providing them with the skills to lead successful and productive lives.

The center will provide an alternative youth su-pervision strategy providing services and programs

that foster community participation, personal re-sponsibility, accountability and life skill develop-ment.

The CRRC campus will be used once a week, while most of the center activities will take place at Canyon Lake United Methodist Church.

Being Good Neighbors

Our thanks to Eagle Scout candidate Christian Paterka for building a stor-age shed for the CRRC Main Office!
