In the year 2000, I started working in the Youth Services Department of this wonderful building. The landscape has changed, the department has changed, the staff has changed, my duties have changed, but my love for this place has not.
Welcome
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. ~Pablo Picasso
