Webster Community Center Open House Planned
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
NORTH WEBSTER - The North Webster Community Center board of directors plans an open house for all North Webster High School alumni and families to share in the vision for its future.
The open house is Saturday from 4 to 5 p.m. with a social gathering at the American Legion following.
The North Webster Community Center, a not-for-profit corporation, was established earlier this year to restore and preserve the former elementary school.
At Saturday's open house, visitors can view the display of photographs and memorabilia on display.
Former students are encouraged to bring their old photos and memories to share.
The NWCC board of directors is taking on the $1.4 million renovation project by transforming the former school into a building that will house many organizations and programs.
Installation of new heating and air conditioners began with funding from the International Palace of Sports. The organization has pledged $250,000 over the next 10 years.
The town is sponsoring a $475,000 Indiana Department of Commerce Community Focus Fund grant to further renovation plans.
Programs, such as those developed by the Lakeland Youth Center and the Kosciusko County YMCA, will provide new opportunities for youths and adults.
The North Webster-Tippecanoe Township Library plans to move from its present location of 1,300 square feet to the new building, where more than 6,000 square feet is available.
The town government, including the police department, also will move its offices to the facility.
Other uses include rooms for fitness, lessons, meetings and continuing education classes, concerts, cultural events and the senior lunch program, including mobile meals.
Other open house events are scheduled for Nov. 24 and Dec. 15.
For more information about the NWCC or the open house, contact executive director Sandy Mafera, 834-1600.
NWCC board members include president Jon Sroufe, Sherman Goldenberg, Jeff Morgan, Peg Lawrance, Helen Hoy, Gloria Shipley, Larry Kinsey, Jeff Thornburg, Dick Hinton and Dennis Wagoner. [[In-content Ad]]
