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 …
