The group seeking to construct a youth center in The Dalles says they have received an offer of 30-thousand dollars from a donor if the community will match the gift. Amie Baldy of the Gorge Youth Center said making this match would bring in $60,000 toward building the center. The deadline for donations toward these matching funds is December 31. A donor has provided 2.5 acres of land behind Motel 6 in The Dalles for the Center, and design ideas have begun. To donate toward the matching funds campaign, go on-line to depositagift.com and search with the word Gorge, or go to the Center’s website GorgeYouthCenter.org for a direct link. The center’s Facebook page also includes a link.
