Community Building

Submitted by mseales on September 29, 2006 - 10:49am.

After, what seemed a long wait, the new Community Center/City Hall Building project is now completed.  The City Hall offices were occupied in August and the Community Center has been used by several organizations in the past two months.  The New Lorimorian is printed there each Monday.  The weekly Congregate Meal is held each Monday as well.  The Lorimor Community Boosters have used the Community Center for a couple of dinners, one being their very well-attended Noodle Dinner during the Fall Festival.  The American Legion Auxiliary meets in the Center monthly.  The Center has also been rented for a wedding reception and a wedding anniversary party.  Plans have been finalized to make Tuesday afternoons the "Game Day".  Residents are invited to use the Center for cards, table games, puzzles, or just to gather and visit.  Coffee and tea will be available for the participants.  Word is out that we have two tables of pinouchle players eager to start.  Bingo will be held on Thursday nights.  Exercise sessions are also being planned. 

The plan for a new community building included the hope that the building would become a facility used each day by residents and organizations of the community.  That hope has become a reality.
