Exciting changes are coming to The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center... Thanks to a generous donor, we have built a STEAM Lab in what used to be office space. In addition to being a fabulous resource for #KingCenterKids, it'll also be available for use by community partners, schools, and others. Stay tuned for details about the grand opening this fall!
