Benefactors save teens

The Hillsborough Teen Center owes its continued existance to the generosity of anonymous benefactors who have ponied up $12,500 to keep the facility's doors open. Without the donations, the teen center would have had to abandon its mission after being given the heave-ho by a town government effort to relocate municipal offices.
Youth Service Director Peter Brigham appears to have had no input into the decision to kick the teen center out into the cold. There was no preliminary dialogue before he was informed the town offices were coming and his program was going.
So much for any emphasis on youth services.
The teen center will move into the old Legion Hall on Depot Street as early as the end of September, no thanks to selectmen, but thanks, instead, to people who care.
