Executive Director's Message
Welcome to the Farmington Community Center. Thanks for taking the time to visit our site, we're happy to have you. The Farmington Community Center has seen a lot of change over the past few years. We have come a long way from being a facility that was run down and used mostly for storage to one that is working to meet needs in our community. Because of the hard work of volunteers and the generous donations we have received, this place has become more than just a facility that holds a lot of memories. It now is a place were families can come to not only reminiscence of days gone by, but to make new memories to share for generations to come. We're a facility that is full of life, an organization that is growing, and an important piece of Farmington history that is still thriving.
As the Executive Director, it is rewarding to meet people of all ages who come and go each week and who are benefiting in some way, because we are here. From the young ones who come for their club meetings, ball practice, or just to play with friends to the seniors who come in to get a hot lunch, enjoy an activity and fellowship with friends. Seeing the teens who enjoy the Teen Gathering Place every Friday night, musicians bringing in their instruments for the weekly Bluegrass Jam, farmers coming in to sell their freshly picked produce, and local families coming in to plan their special gatherings are all a blessing to me. It has also been a blessing to see all the volunteers who have given their time to make this a better place for people to enjoy. It takes a lot of work to keep up a facility like this and there is always something that needs to be done. Being a non-profit means that we have to rely heavily on the dedication of volunteers and it is they who make a difference here. I am proud to be a part of this organization and this community. I hope that you will come by to visit the Farmington Community Center soon to see for yourself what makes this place special and maybe to make some memories of your own.
