	The inspiration for a place to provide girls additional recreational facilities has been linked to a phone call made by Ms. Rose Marie Montgomery to the radio program [[SOUND OFF]] in 1974. Montgomery's belief that facilities provided by the [[YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION (Y.W.C.A.)]] and the schools were insufficient for all the girls in need led to the formation of a planning group, Girls Are In Need (GAIN). A board, chaired by Rev. Marvin Bries, was established and an application for a $49,000 federal Community Development Grant was written. The $35,000 received was enough to lease from Gene Sullivan the former Lady of Lourdes Nursing Home (the former [[DUBUQUE FEMALE ~~SEMINARY~~]] on West 17th for $7,000 annually. The grant also provided money for a small staff.

	The need for the organization to pay all utilities and maintenance led to massive community volunteer support. Service clubs, students from high school and college, union members and individuals assisted cleanup and painting projects. The hallways in the three-story building were cleaned and painted by a religion class from [[LORAS COLLEGE]]. Games, desks, arts and crafts supplies, and entertainment equipment were provided through donations from local businesses and organizations. Youth Services and Retired Senior Volunteer Program members volunteered to teach classes or supervise activities. The West 17th street facility with forty rooms opened on October 12, 1975. Dues were four dollars for girls 8-12, and five dollars for those 13 to 18. (2)		The need for the organization to pay all utilities and maintenance led to massive community volunteer support.
