Reverend Samuel Johnson and Reverend Daniel F ra z ie r w ill report on Center a ctivities. Highland Community Cen te r is located at NJE. 9th and Going Streets, in the Highland United Church of C hrist Church. About four years ago the Reverend Samuel Johnson, who had been working with youth of Northeast Portland, fe lt that a fa c ility was needed in order that a more effec tive work could be done in that area. The Highland Church was available, and from that time efforts have been made to help serve the needs in the Albina area through the use of the Center. Although many other pro grams are now operating as off-shoots of the Center pro gram, it s till serves as the hub of much a ctivity in the area, serving where time and space are available, and d i recting on to other programs, those who can be better served elsewhere. The Church has a large recreation hall which attracts many young people. The rooms upstairs have offices fo r AMA F am ily Day & Night Care and a large room fo r sewing. The sewing program with six volunteer teachers has been a continuing part of the Center program form orethan three years. Besides teach ing sewing to many women, young men, and children, it has been a place where people LA can come fo r fellowship. Since the Reverend Johnson now beads the social action program fo r the Albina M i n isterial Alliance along with other duties, a new D irector was hired to give full time to the Center. The R e v e r e n d Daniel F ra z ie r has been the director Senator M ark Hatfield said of Highland Center since July, today that to ll-fre e telephone coming to Portland from Ta numbers which veterans may coma.
