Red Morton Center August r.ancluded the Red Morton Center Summer Program. The program was designed to serve the leisure needs of the young people from tiny tots to teens. It was our goal that in addition to having fun and having some- thing to do each day, the participant would feel better about himself as a result of his or her involvement in our programs. It was our intent to build and reinforce within the individual a sense of individualism, high self esteem and �ositive self image through recreation and leisure activities. The staff of the Red P1orton Center felt that to a large extent these goals were accomplished. The volunteer orogram was espe- cially helpful and worthwhile this surnmer and m�ny young people donated long hours to the Center. - 10-
