"WHSV decided to replace our tremendously popular annual Children First Day that we did for 15 consecutive years with something that could have a more lasting impact. So we decided to reach out to the community and ask what that should be. We had hundreds of projects and ideas submitted. In May we narrowed those to the 5 we thought would have the greatest impact on the most children and youth and we did news stories on each to get the public’s input. Overwhelmingly completion of the Community Youth Center at Massanutten Regional Library stood out as the top choice." - Tracey Jones, Regional VP & GM WHSV

PRESS RELEASE EXCERPT

WHSV-TV has selected Massanutten Regional Library’s Community Youth Center as the recipient of the WHSV Good Neighbor Gift and has provided $12,500 in seed money to kick off the fundraising efforts toward the $75,000 goal. The Youth Center Project will renovate existing space at the Main Library and will actually create two new rooms. One large 3,500 square foot room will be renovated into the Community Youth Center to house all youth programs and activities. A second room, the teen room, will be a 750 square foot room dedicated to house all teen books, materials and computers. Leadership gifts have already been pledged by James McHone in honor of Dr. Garney L. Darrin, the Harrisonburg Rotary Golf Tournament, and The Rockingham Group.
