YouthZone: 1980 - 1987

Who can forget what a fabulous decade the 80s were?  Kevin Bacon was teaching us all to be footloose, Aqua Net allowed us to pump up the volume on our bangs, Mary Lou Retton was stealing our hearts at the Olympics, and Michael Jackson's Thriller album was turning out hits one after the other.

And YouthZone, then still known as Garfield Youth Services, was getting busy!  After opening the Glenwood Springs office in 1979 and hiring Director Patti Phelps, YouthZone ushered in the 80s with a staff of eight people and a tiny budget of $108,000.  Amazingly, with a small staff and budget, YouthZone still managed to help 115 kids, 24 families and match up 18 Pals pairs in 1981.

Thank You WingNutz!

Thank you to our friends at WingNutz who recently have adopted the retired YouthZone piggy now that Kiss-n-Squeal is officially finished.  Razor the pig is now living atop the roof at WingNutz in Rifle!  On St. Patrick's Day, they generously donated 10% of their food proceeds to YouthZone!
