Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that PM'd me regarding interest. Our facility does mean a lot to the girls. I wanted to clarify about my "pregnancy" comment. Seems like maybe I did offend a few folks out there. We have several 14 y/o girls who have older siblings that are already raising little ones. They got pregnant when they were in high school. I'm sure that I don't have to tell everyone here that South Texas has amongst the highest preteen/teen pregnancy rate. I know that TS3 can't prevent little girls from getting themselves pregnant; however, I believe that if at least we can give them somewhere to go and something to do other than doing that, well, at least we are doing something. I also have 4 daughters. I can attest that I would do anything for them. I may not attend a professional basketball game, but I would definitely drop 50 bucks so they could participate in a year around sports program that not only develops their athletic skills but also develops their integrity and work ethic as well. Thanks again for everyone's support.
