Every so often a youth has a need, and they write down their wish and post it on the Magic Bulletin Board in the lobby of the Dream Center. During the past year the following wishes have been met:

    One Car
    Two Laptops
    One Bed
    Misc. Households items
    Television & DVD player

(A need would be: a laptop for college, a car-seat for a baby or young child, a scientific calculator for geometry)

Current Magic Bulletin Board Request(s):

Dejay - Video Camera: Wants to make a documentary for the Dream Center.
