U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Region VIII Deputy Director
John Dibella joined city and community officials for the grand opening of the
Curtis Park Educational and Community Center. In his opening remarks, Mr. Dibella
told the crowd of 125 people that he had just been in the computer lab room teaching
the students how to get onto www.hud.gov so they could learn how to get information
on any government agency for their future homework assignments. Deputy Director
Dibella acknowledged all the attendees honoring King M. Trimble, former City Councilman.
Mr. Dibella remarked about the computer lab's excellent schedule of summer computer
classes giving the students an opportunity to achieve their life dreams. Mr. Dibella
remarked how HUD's HOPE VI grants of $733,000+ gave the community a jumpstart
and to help students--young and old--fulfill their dreams. "By taking computer
classes and using the computer lab, students will move forward on the challenging
road of the information highway," said Deputy Director Dibella.
