Rock Out at The Hub's Grand Re-Opening this Friday
The Hub staff welcomes all ages to the open house festivities.
The Hub, a nonprofit community center designed for teens and young adults, is planning a three-day grand re-opening. It's an open house filled with DJ music, live bands, food and video games, said Dan Stinnett, president. It's been a rocky road for the community center that opened in 2008 and closed last December because it didn't have money for a $3,700 special use permit from Will County. Still the New Lenox community and surrounding towns, including Mokena, Frankfort and Manhattan have been supportive. After a hiatus that lasted several months, The Hub President Dan Stinnett has gathered enough funding to re-open the popular teen hangout. "The Hub's grand re-opening is planned for Sept. 15-16. In addition to concerts for young people on…

The Hub Needs Help to Win $250K Chase Bank Grant
The Hub means more than music; it means positive outreach and support for local teens. After more than a year of closures and financial stress, the New Lenox organization could get a big break.
The Hub, the 5,400-square-foot community center where teenagers can relax is not only set to re-open with an Open House on Sept. 14, but it also has a chance to win a $250,000 grant from the nationwide Chase Bank Grant initiative. The organization's 27-year-old president and director, Dan Stinnett, is fully aware that he faces a mountain of competition from other well-intentioned non-profit organizations that reach out to serve others, but he remains hopeful. Because this popular hangout is both a healthy place and it's well-supervised, it has gained support from churches, schools and governmental agencies in the Lincoln-Way region. The Hub was nominated as among the 196 charities eligible for the $250,000 grant from the Chase Bank Grant …

The Hub—The Community Center That Could
After being forced to close while getting up to county code, Dan Stinnett plans to re-open The Hub by mid-September. The popular hangout for area youths has been closed on-and-off for more than a year.
The problem that has plagued teenagers for eons is that they have no place to simply hang out. There are signs everywhere that read: No Loitering, No Skateboarding, No Parking and more. It's tough even on parents that welcome the crowd regularly to their homes. The reality is that any time there's a large group of boys and girls gathered socially, there's going to be loud music, some roughhouse and a lot of flirting going on. Dan Stinnett, director of The Hub, a nonprofit community center to serve Lincoln-Way's youth, understands the "no" syndrome. The 5,400-square-foot facility in the unincorporated industrial area on Schoolhouse Road was shuttered in December 2011 after originally closing that summer. But now it's slated to reopen no …

I take a look at some of the top stories from November 2011, including No Child Left Behind standards, Dan Stinnett's dedication to The Hub and the local Boy and Girl Scouts awesome food drive.
November is always a time to be thankful. We thank veterans who have sacrificed for us early in the month, and later we say gives thanks for what we have during our hungriest holiday.
