The Pilot Club of the Halifax Area made a quarterly donation of $500 to the Rose Marie Bryon Children’s Center.

The funds are earmarked to supply weekend meals to children of the community — over 2,800 meals are supplied to children each year, according to a press release.

Along with the $2,000 annual donation, the PCHA also sponsors a Book Drive and BrainMinder TM events for the center’s children.

The Rose Marie Bryon Children’s Center is the oldest after-school program in the Daytona Beach area, serving the community since 1948. Programs are available for children from 5-18 years of age. The Center is open for school holidays, spring-break, winter-break, and summer camp.

The Center is staffed solely by volunteers and is critically needed for the low-income families, the press release states. Its programs and activities include tutoring; F-CAT Skill computer training 4 Kids Program; communication/speech class; a drugs, tobacco, and alcohol program; garden club, chess club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Good News Club, arts and crafts, summer lunches, after-school snacks, cooking lessons, sewing lessons, field trips and more.
