Fishing at the Clubs: Wednesday Night

At Panther

I'm happy with the goodwill that we have built at the clubs, especially at Panther. I swung by for a half-hour to talk to my crew from last year. I signed up Taylor, Jasmine, Micah, and Vittoria to help with Mindfest. MYLES and GABE -- I will meet with these teens on Monday at Panther, then they will come to the Museum on Wednesday afternoon to prepare.

At Northside

I invited ten or fifteen teens, including Lazoro & Juan Hernandez, Aaron, and Jason Smith to come to the museum and hang out with Megan for a few hours. I also had a long conversation with this giant, tattooed Hispanic guy named Aaron. He called Mary Perez his "mom" becuase he grew up in the Boys and Girls Club. He told me about his hobby of creating art. He has fifteen airbrushes and does murals around the community, on churches and in nightclubs. He has won art competitions and was invited by to go to school there and help teach (I couldn't make out what or who they wanted him to teach.) We agreed that he would do the mural on the divider wall that Joe is going to build for us in the teen room.
