Centret for Unga Vuxna "Center for Young Adults"

Centret for Unga Vuxna (The center for Young Adults!)

This is where we spend most of our time. It is a place 18-30 year old singles can go for activities and socializing.

There is a student council that plans the firesides, Family Home Evenings, parties, service projects, and other activities. I cook a dinner at the Center for them on Thursdays. Plus I make treats for all the activities. (So I am in the kitchen a lot!!) Neal takes care of all the paperwork and e-mails and enjoys being around them. They look to us as “mom and dad’s” We have around 30 active participating. We also attend all of their planning meetings. They come from Lund, Malmo, and Helsingborg plus a few far out cities.





Our Center is on the 5th floor of this building. At the bottom is a cute little market, so if I forget an ingredient, I can go to the market and pick up what I need. Our apartment is only a 5 minute walk to the Center. The Center has 2 large rooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, our office and a game room (which they are re-doing so it is a mess)

 This is their Logo and is on our door.

 Neal at his desk. He is sure learning more about computers.  He has to keep lots of records and information. Plus send out quarterly reports to the Europe office.
 
This is the other half of
our office. It is used for small meetings.

 This is a fairly large room. This end has the pool table and where the chairs are,  now have 2 computers for the kids to use. At the other end of the room is what they call the "cozy" area.  It has a sectional sofa and round table plus a couple of chairs. They like to hang out here and visit, play pool and surf facebook! Many of them use the computers for their university classes.

Institute is held every Thursday in this room. We have about 25 that attend. They really like the instructor. They have the equiptment to broadcast it to the other units around the area so they don't have to travel to attend institute. This is also where we re-broadcast CES Firesides from SLC. We have a one week delay.

The kitchen is cute and cozy and well equipped.  Except “no dish washer” or "garbage disposal" and the sinks are very, very small. So it is real hard to do the dishes.  I pretty much live here. I fix treats every Monday and on Thursday's I fix a dinner for about 10 plus treats for after Institute. (The reason for not having garbage disposals or dish washers is because all the Buildings and homes in Lund are very old so they don't have the right plumbing for it.)

The cabinets under the sinks are not usable. Notice how small the one sink is. (it is the one on the left)
