20151216134156603_0001During the re-dedication, they reflected on a number of milestones within the past 20 years including the following:

  • Bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, William L. Higi, offered remarks and gave a blessing at the ribbon cutting ceremony on November 30, 1995
  • Mortgage Burning—in 1998, there was a ceremony to “burn the mortgage” celebrating the final payment
  • The LUM After School Program started in 1999 at the center; The LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program started in 2011 at the center
  • Additions & expansions—in 2009, Playground added, Youth Center moved to 1st floor
  • Renaming—in 2011, the Program Center was renamed the LUM Ray Ewry Youth Center in honor of local Olympic champion
