Copy of The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Good morning, Salem.

Starting Monday, kids living along Northeast Lancaster Drive will have a new place to go after school as the latest branch of the Boys & Girls club opens.

The clubhouse has a Salem backstory too – it’s the former homestead of Larry and Jeanette Epping, who came to Salem during the Great Depression following the failure of their North Dakota farm and found success in development. Their children donated the property in hopes it can help raise Salem’s next generation with the love and care they received at home.

You can find all of our stories anytime by heading to our website. Here are today’s headlines.
