Roslindale Community Center
By dmk - 6/8/10 - 2:11 pm
With a multi-million dollar renovation starting to show its age, the Roslindale Community Center has started a "wish list" of various items and creature features that will make the facility a bit brighter and more accommodating to those that use it.
The community center operates as a partnership between the City of Boston (Boston Center For Youth and Families - BCYF) which owns and operates the building, and a community-based non-profit in residence that operates a day care service and various in house programming. The non-profit acts as the voice of the Roslindale Community in the center's operation.
In March of this year torrential rains resulted in the community center building experiencing water damage from above (a roof leak) and from below, when storm drains in Roslindale Square backed up resulting in a 6-8 inch flood in the basement prompting a need to replace some furnishings.
The center is also in need of adding to its capacity to address youth and adult programming, and also to facilitate access to numerous community-based organizations that use the facility as a meeting place.

As if the changes and cuts to Boston's community-center based daycare and pre-kindergarten programming was not enough, it now appears that some additional critical staffing at some community centers is also being cut.
The large community center "clusters," those centers that were joined at the hip for management purposes (2, 3, and 4 buildings in some instances) are cutting their "assistant cluster administrator" position. While that may sound a tad administratively heavy, these people are often the equivalent of a ship's executive officer of "chief of the boat," and are irreplaceable.

After the customary discussion period and decision-making process, the Roslindale Community Center has launched a web site which outlines its programming and operational hours. URL: http://www.roslindalecc.org
The web site actually launched at the beginning of October of 2008 but is just now starting to get some mention in the press.

Adam Rosi-Kessel explains how the board at the Roslindale Community Center has been ground into paralysis by nasty, nasty infighting (his wife, Rachele, is on the board).
