The Oregon Lions Club recently heard a presentation on the After Teen Lounge in Oregon and made a donation to the organization.

Paula Porter, mother of seven, took her idea of finding a safe, positive and fun place for teens and turned it into what is now known as After Teen Lounge. Porter said the facility is a place to grow, connect and belong where teens can feel supported, safe and have fun.

The lounge is for ages 13-17. It is open Tuesday through Saturday. Contact Paula at 815-732-3888 or pporter0702@yahoo.com or pop in and visit at 117 N. Fourth St. in Oregon for more info and hours.
