Beat the heat, enjoy something good to eat, and have some fun this summer at lunchtime activities at community centers and libraries around the city! On the East side, the Goodman Community Center, located at 149 Waubesa Street, offers free meals and events for kids five days a week. Kids under 18 are invited to attend a free lunch and recreation period, held Monday through Friday, June 22 through August 21.
