Return Gary Crooks Memorial Center to the Community

The art center kept my childhood pure and free from crime. And the summer lunches were awsome

These kids need something to do and somewhere to go for activities

It's been up for a long time do not take it down this is a family thing of the crooks

I received my first job at the Gary Crooks Memorial Center as the secretary for Trina hack in 1990. This help build my character and confidence. I also attended camps and art classes their along with the summer breakfast and lunch programs. Then I was able to volunteer with those same programs for kids after me who attended.

I feel that the city of Bridgeport n the housing authority should do the right thing in making sure the Gary Crooks center be protected n kept for familes in that community my family still feel the loss of my cousin at a young age where is the compassion n love that should be shown to community . please do the right thing as a voter n family member help save this special place.

This is my family I will support till the end !!

This place is where I grew up and it’s apart of my life history as being a kid and adult

Let it remain where it is

Please return center to the community this family lost a loved one and this center brought the community together after that tragedy.

The kids need the Gary crooks building it’s saving a lot if kids from the illegal activity in the streets

This place is ours. Give it back. I was in that center as a child. I worked in it, my family had events there. We love the the center. It's our!!! Center...

We need to create something for the kids here, which is what its purpose was intended.

Keep for PT

The Gary Crooks was a safe haven for most of us. Our poor children have nowhere to go since they lost the Gary Crooks

Gary Crooks should remain for PT Community

This place saved me from alot of things and brought Joy to me as a child.the family's on the westside really need this place back up and running again

This building was named after my uncle in memory of what my family had to experience at that point in lyfe with my uncle losing his life the Gary crooks was a safe haven for alotta of kids growing up we had alotta different programs that were being offered to the community from there in that center I feel it's ridiculous how people can just come along and make all these changes no it will not ever bring my uncle back but it will keep our family happy knowing that the Gary crooks is still being considered the Gary crooks and that it is being used for the right reasons bad enough whoever is running the Gary crooks now has disposed of my uncle Gary's picture that has been hanging up there hand drawn and painted there in the art center so yes I'm asking that everyone sign sign sign❤️❤️❤️

The quality of life for all of Bridgeport demands that artistic and social opportunities be readily available. The Gary Crooks Memorial Center must be restored for its intended purpose.

For the kid's

My uncle's death was symbolized through this vision this would be a slap in the face to the whole Crooks family and the community of P.T. Barnum
