"We spoke with Dr. Fisher, and he directed us to North Elementary. We attended Parent Ori- entation and we asked parents if they thought a club would be something the school needed. We stopped taking names at 80, because we ran out of paper. This tells us that Kings Mountain needs a Boys and Girls Club, and they need it now," Propst said. With him at the pre- sentation were Cleveland County Boys and Girls Club Board President Rick French and former Cleveland County Com- missioner Susan Allen. In his presentation, Propst mentioned that the Boys and Girls Club started in the county in 1966. Their mission is to "enable all young people in our community, espe- cially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citi- zens." The club offers after- school programs and en- courages the community to invest in their children, not in prisons. He also shared, "Eighty percent of our participants make the A/B Honor Roll. Last year, we opened a club at Caser School. That club currently has 58 children participating." Boys and Girls Club planned for North Elementary School Dancing Fleas to perform The Dancing Fleas will perform a special 90-min- ute benefit concert for the GFW Kings Mountain Woman's Club on Satur- day October 23, at 6 pm in the Joy Performance The- ater at 202 South Railroad Avenue Kings Mountain.

Johnson The Earl Scruggs Center announces the Young Community S t o r y t e l l e r s Workshop, a special opportunity for 7th and 8th grade students in Cleveland County. Led by Dr. Kimberly P. Johnson, an award-winning educator with extensive workshop facilitation experience, student participants will learn how to document important stories from community and family history. Children's author and educator, Dr. Kimberly P. Johnson grew up in Shelby and graduated from Shelby High School. She attended UNC for a degree in Communications Studies. Later, she completed her master's degree in Youth Development and Leadership at Clemson University and a Doctorate in Curriculum Leadership and Teaching at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. She also completed her post-doctorate work in Advanced Educational Leadership at Harvard. Dr. Johnson received international recognition for her children's book, No Fear for Freedom: The Story of the Friendship 9, which documented the story of sit-ins at a segregated lunch counter in Rock Hill, SC, in 1961. She has received numerous community awards and was the guest reader for President George W. Bush at the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Dr. Johnson teaches Creative Activities for Youth at Clemson University and Creative Writing for Social Change at Clinton College. Recently, Dr. Johnson announced that she is co-writing a book with Dr. Bernice King, daughter of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr and Coretta Scott King. A partnership that grew out of Dr. Johnson's work as an Ambassador and Curriculum Design Specialist for the King Center in Atlanta, King and Johnson's work will focus on Dr. King's Global BE LOVE initiative. This initiative will focus on courageous acts to achieve more humanity and justice in the world. "I am honored to be on this journey with Dr. King to further empower the willingness and abilities of our youth to help create change in the world," Johnson said. "We must acknowledge that this generation of change agents can empower all of us to be better human beings!" During the Young Community Storytellers Workshop, Dr. Johnson will lead students through discussions and creative writing sessions, teaching them to ask important questions that bring out meaningful community or family stories. By the end of the four-session workshop, each participant will use skills developed to create a piece – artwork, creative writing, or short fi lm – that will be compiled into a virtual exhibit by the Earl Scruggs Center and made available to the community. "To be able to come back home and impact the very community that gave me my start is a dream come true," shared Dr. Johnson. "I indeed tend to pour my heart and soul into this project and inspire these young participants to tap into their creativity. In doing so, they will see the power they possess to tell their own truths as member of a dynamic community" The Young Community Storytellers Workshop will take place over four sessions in November and December. Students interested in attending may contact the Earl Scruggs Center for more information or visit http://earlscruggscenter.org/event/i- come-from-young-community-storytelling- workshop/. This workshop is made possible through support from NC Humanities, the Dover Foundation, and the Cleveland County Community Foundation.
