You can be a member… of the Teen Challenge Training Center, Inc. Alumni Association! Welcome to the Alumni Association of Teen Challenge Training Center, Inc. This web-page is being developed with several features intended to provide information about the Association as well as helping Teen Challenge graduates stay connected with each other and the ministry that God has used to transform their lives. 2010 Celebrate A familiar focal point of our annual Celebrate festival is the Annual Alumni Association Luncheon & Business Meeting. Approximately 125 gathered in the Wilkerson Hall dining room on July 10, 2010 to enjoy cooler temperatures, a delicious soup & salad buffet, warm fellowship and participate in the Annual Business Meeting following lunch. There were 53 voting members in attendance for the meeting. Congratulations to our newly elected Association Officers, Kurt Tarkington, President, and Brantley Brown, Treasurer. (Click on ‘Executive Committee’ to become better acquainted with these new leaders.) Congratulations, as well, to the two 2010 Alumni of the Year Award recipients, John Arminio—Journeyman Award, and Barry Pendergrass—Achievement Award. The 2010 Annual Association Project grant was awarded to Syracuse Teen Challenge, under the leadership of David Pilch, Director. May God continue to bless the ministry of this great induction center and staff as a ‘beacon of hope’ in central New York! Finally, our sincerest thanks and appreciation is extended to Rev. Harry Carrillo and Mr. Jack Scampone for their service as President and Treasurer, of the Alumni Association. Harry was President for four years and Jack served as Treasurer for three and one half years. In the photo to the left, Harry and Jack fellowship at the Alumni Information table on the Celebrate field where a large gift basket filled with Teen Challenge items and memorabilia was on display. Raffle tickets were sold for the gift basket during Celebrate and a total of $390.00 was raised for the Alumni Association. Under brother Harry’s leadership as Alumni Association President, several significant changes have been introduced including: multiple options for membership; expanding the Alumni of the Year Award to two levels; inclusion of non- Teen Challenge Training Center, Inc. centers involvement in the Association; the first female member of the Executive Committee; and increased active Membership and financial support of the Association. May God bless you, Pastor Harry and your lovely wife, Norma, as you continue to serve the Lord in ministry and in supporting the Teen Challenge Alumni Association! Celebrate 2011 will be held on July 8, 9 and 10. Mark your calendar, and plan to come to God’s Mountain for the next Alumni Luncheon and Business Meeting on the 9th.
