On May 18, 2013, more than 100 community members gathered in celebration of the grand opening of the former Barclay Recreation Center.

In fall 2011, GHCC took the lead in transforming the Center into a major community asset. Earlier this month, oversight of the building transitioned from John Bernet, GHCC’s former Assistant Director of Neighborhood Programs, who brought the building to opening day, to Hannah Gardi, who will serve as the Community Center Director.

Thanks to our supporters:

Joseph Bradley, Saul Dinkins, Tisha Edwards, Nick Greer, Kristian Hayes, Alder Keene, Blaine Lipski, Tamara Payne, Jason Pyeron, Mike Rodondo, Abell Improvement Association, ACE Hardware, Baltimore City Public Schools, the Barclay School, Boot-Up Baltimore, Charles Village Civic Association, Digital Harbor Tech Center, Eddie’s of Charles Village, Gather Baltimore, Hamilton Crop Circle, Harwood Community Association, Healthy Neighborhoods, Home Depot, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University, University of Maryland School of Social Work, the Village Parents, Waverly Main Street.

Thanks to our volunteers:

Kareem Bailey, David Bullock, Will Dash, Jenny Guillaume, Nick Jones, Gary Letteron, Iesha Matthews, Patrick McMahon, Devin Miales, Paz Morris, Jo-Ann Orlinsky, Bert Queen, Amanda Ruthven, Laura Scott, Myron Seay, Sandy Sparks, Kyle Skinner, Matt Stubbs, Rich Walther, Susan Walther, Tim Webster.

And a very special thanks to Mary Pat Clarke for her unyielding support of this project!!!
