5/14/13 - The founder and leader of a Hartland after-school center for teens has been honored by a local volunteer organization for her efforts. Kay Fountain is a teacher with Hartland Consolidated Schools and founder of the Next Door Teen Center, located in the old township hall. She received special recognition from the Hartland Optimist Club during a presentation yesterday for her work with the center. She also received a check for the teen center totaling $256, which came from a donation drive last month that was matched by First National Bank. The Next Door Teen Center has 170 registered members, and every school day it hosts 30 to 40 students who take part in activities like soccer, pool, and video games in a supervised environment. It also features computers donated by the Hartland Cromaine Library. For more information on the teen center, follow the link below. (TD)
