THIS GOAL HAS NEVER CHANGED AS WE SERVE OUR COSTITUENTS. OUR COMMUNITY NO LONGER HAS A SCHOOL OR CHURCH HALL SO WE ARE THE SOLE PROVIDERS OF SUCH FACILITIES TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE PROVIDE THESE FACILITIES FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS PROVIDING OUR FACILITIES FOR DART LEAGUES TREATS FOR CHILDREN AT HALLOWEEN AN ANNUAL SANTA VISIT TO THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND RECEPTIONS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE ALSO PROVIDE OUR FACILITY FOR RECEPTIONS WHEN A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY PASSES AWAY. MOST RECENTLY WE INSTALLED A FULLY OPERATIONAL GENERATOR TO MAKE OUR HALL A WARMING/COMFORT ZONE TO THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY IN TIME OF NEED.
