Clearly, this process is taking too long.

Ervin's All-American Youth Club, Inc. deserves to be recognized for fulfilling its goal of providing a clean and wholesome environment for the youth and families of Pinellas County.

Ervin's All-American Youth Club, Inc. has been changing lives since 1981, when Mr. Ervin Ajamu Babalola realized that something had to be done to help the next generation of children in Clearwater.

Indeed, Mr. Babalola's organization has had such a positive impact that many area youth have gone on to college, joined the work force or elected to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States.

I want to publicly commend Mr. Babalola and the members of his family for their dedicated service on behalf of the youth of North Greenwood.

Ervin's All-American Youth Club, Inc. offers a wide variety of important and valuable programs to the community.

Ervin's quality services encourage self-sufficiency and self-empowerment for the many African American youth and families in the community.

The club has grown tremendously and is now housed at Ervin's Community Enrichment Center.
