The Youth Center - Bus Refresh Project Lina Lumme from The Youth Center shared this note: Our Youth Center bus has been going strong for 8 years—and just in 2025, it’s already taken our kids on 48 life-changing trips. But… the wrap is
cracking, the inside needs a deep clean, and let’s be honest—it’s starting to look (and smell) like 8 years of snacks, sneakers, and adventure. We’ve raised $6,000 of the $9,500 we need to give it a full refresh—and now we’re reaching out to friends like you. - If you can personally help, or know someone who
might, here’s the link
- If you’ve already donated—thank you and please ignore this! We love you and promise not to bug you
again.
Thanks for helping us keep this bus—and our mission—rolling. Warmly (with a bottle of Febreze),
Lina
Lumme,
The Youth Center CEO So, they have reached 63% of their $9,500 goal toward refreshing the bus that is used year round to transport kids to and from trips, events and camps. If there is any chance you can contribute $10, $40, or $100 to The Youth Center Bus Refresh Project,

Griffin Gazette: She got the longing glances, and his ring: Taylor Swift’s enchanted engagementAfter singing about fairytale romances her whole life, Taylor Swift is finally getting her
chance at a happily ever after following Travis Kelce’s recent proposal. Jaya Eapen, Co-Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor Alizabeth Martin from the Los Al Griffin Gazette teamed up to cover the fairytale engagement of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. You can read their full story here on the Gazette website
For Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Tuesday, Aug. 26, was truly a fairytale, only this time, the love story concludes with an engagement ring.
Posting a collection of photos from Kelce’s enchanting rose garden at his home in Kansas City, the couple announced their engagement. The post was captioned with nine stunning words: “Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married,” shocking fans around the world. The caption references Swift’s recent release, “So High
School,” a song centered around her relationship with Kelce. Perfectly fitting Swift’s usual mastermind agenda, the announcement was posted 13 days after the reveal of her twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl” (which in itself set sparks flying in the media). The unexpected couple began dating in July 2023, publicly debuting their relationship that December. At the time, both figures’
careers were soaring, with Swift continuing and wrapping up her record-breaking Eras Tour, and with the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024. Despite the couple’s initial attempts to keep their relationship from the public eye, after repeatedly being seen at events together, they eventually embraced the spotlight and have been openly smitten since. Their most
recent public appearance was through Kelce’s football podcast, “New Heights,” hosted with his brother Jason Kelce; Swift came on as a guest speaker, surprising fans after a long media hiatus. This podcast was monumental to the fanbase, seeing as it is the longest sit-down conversation with Swift speaking in a comfortable and candid setting since The Eras Tour ended. Fans were able to get a comprehensive view of Swift’s life as she discussed everything from her experience on the Eras Tour to her
intense sourdough obsession. Swift and Kelce also had the chance to casually explain the origins of their relationship, without the threat of deceptive interviewers, something Swift has dealt with in the past. Allowing fans to get a glimpse into their relationship, she recalled how Kelce had actually come to one of her shows and after being dazzled by her talent, was determined to get a date
with her. Initially trying (and failing) to talk to her after her performance, she later found out about his interest from a segment on his podcast. “It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like ‘I want to date you,’” said Swift
