2006 Brings Change
About 5 or 6 years ago the township bought the old Showcase Centerville Cinemas that went out of business, the movie theater is located right next to the Rec' Center. For many years the trustees struggled to decide in what to do with the building. Around 2004 a levy was proposed to renovate it to provide lecture halls, game courts and a variety of other activities to enrich the community. Unfortunately the levy did not pass and the building sat quietly for a couple years only being used for storage.
Just recently the building was renovated and now provides a teen center for local teens to come and hang out at every now and then. They also turned one of the rooms into a makeshift Theatre for the touring teens productions that held its first show on September 6 2006. The location was named Rec' West.

Famous quotes containing the words brings and/or change:
“When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.”
—Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
“A child... who has learned from fairy stories to believe that what at first seemed a repulsive, threatening figure can magically change into a most helpful friend is ready to believe that a strange child whom he meets and fears may also be changed from a menace into a desirable companion.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
