★★★★★Dave DavidsonGreat place amazing people
★★★★★Jessica ClaeysI absolutely LOVE AECC!!! They do so much for the kids!!! The staff are truly AMAZING!!!!!
★★★★★Christopher FoxGlad this place has stayed in the community; so many things for the kids have come and go but this place has great leadership and great for the community. I was apart of it when I was a kid and if I still lived in the area I would definitely have my son part of it as well and all the opportunities it offers.
★★★★★Clayton WintersThis place is GREAT! a lot of fun stuff for the kids. Staff is awesome. involved and very personable.
★★★★★John D. WiserThis was my hangout seventy years ago, when Alex Eligh was alive and kicking, and directing the operation. The building started life as an adjunct gymnasium for the old high school, and continued to host basketball games and dances after the high school moved to West Miller Street. The pool tables in the basement were hill-and-dale affairs but they were free while the smoother tables at Frank Sedgwick's on West Union Street ran something like 50 cents a game. Way costly for impecunious youth in 1950.
