Serving Me chanicsville �Legend: Definition of Needs Wesley Centers for many years have offered some supplementary recreational services in each of its neighborhoods in order to meet more individualized ,needs. In assessing our services over a period of two years, we find that the needs in each of our neighbor hoods have increased, The resulting verbal . --· demands for additional recreational services are surpassing our ability ·to meet them; since our primar y unit of se rvice is to the s mall club group, and our staff's orientation and training is rarely, if ever, in the field of recreation. We feel that reacreational service s are needed and that we ca n and should · help, but realistically we cannot do it alone and continue to do justice to our other program needs.
